Agilent Technologies FieldFox N9913A - Trace Display States; Average Type

SA (Spectrum Analyzer) Mode 99
 Then choose from: 101 | 201 | 401 | 601 | 801 | 1001
Trace Display States
In SA Mode you can display up to four of the following types of trace states. All
SA settings are applied to all displayed traces.
A color-coded legend for displayed traces is visible in the left pane of the SA
mode screen:
W = Clear/Write; M = MaxHold; m = MinHold; A = Average; V = View
How to display Trace States
 Press Trace 6.
 Then Trace 1,2,3,4 repeatedly to select a trace number to display. Traces are
displayed in the following colors:
o Trace 1 – Yellow Trace 2 – Blue
o Trace 3 – Orange Trace 4 – Red
 Then State [current setting] .
 Then choose from the following Trace States:
o Clr /Wr (Clear/Write) Displays the actual measured data for each sweep.
o MaxHold Displays the maximum response of the input signal at each data
point over multiple sweeps. See also Average Count on page 100.
o MinHold Displays the minimum response of the input signal at each data
point over multiple sweeps. See also Average Count on page 100.
o Average Each data point is averaged over multiple sweeps as set by the
Average Count setting. Learn more in following Average Type section.
o View Displays and then holds the last complete measurement trace on the
screen. This is similar to storing a trace in memory.
o Blank Displays no trace.
 Press Default All to return all traces to their default settings: Trace 1
(Clear/Write); all other traces (Blank).
NOTE Trace 4 data WILL be overwritten by the FieldFox when using the Independent
Source Normalize feature (page 86) or using Field Strength antenna or cable
corrections (page 83).
Average Type
In SA Mode, there are four different processes in which Averaging is performed:
 Average Traces – Learn more on page 99.
 Detection Method Averaging – Learn more on page 101.
 Noise Marker Averaging - Learn more on page 103.
 Video BW filtering (for non-Zero Span measurements) - Learn more on page
