Battery Saver
When the battery saver is OFF, the RF source power is left ON at the end of the
sweep which consumes more battery power. This feature is used in CAT, NA and
VVM modes.
Battery Saver is the ONLY FieldFox setting that must be made as a Preference
from the Quick Settings table. This setting remains until you change it again.

o ON – Default setting. To conserve battery power, the RF source power is
turned OFF at the end of each CAT, NA, and VVM mode sweep. This
behavior does not impact FieldFox measurements.
o OFF – Source power is kept ON at all times, including during trigger Hold
mode and between single sweep acquisitions. The RF source stays at the stop
frequency until another sweep begins. This provides a constant,
uninterrupted RF output from the RF OUT port. This behavior also provides
the highest trace stability sweep-to-sweep which may only be evident while
using either single sweep or Run/Hold. With Battery Saver OFF, the use of a
full battery charge is reduced by approximately 45 minutes.
