BW
Activates the bandwidth function and accesses the 
associated softkeys to control resolution bandwidth, 
video bandwidth.
RBW
Key access: [BW] > {RBW}
Changes the 3 dB resolution bandwidth from 10 Hz 
to 3 MHz in a 1, 3, 10 sequence using the knob, 
step keys or the numeric keypad. 
As the resolution bandwidth is decreased, the 
sweep time is modified to maintain amplitude 
calibration. Resolution bandwidth is also related to 
span. As span is decreased, resolution bandwidth 
decreases. As the resolution bandwidth changes, 
the video bandwidth, if in auto couple mode, 
changes to maintain the VBW/RBW ratio.
A “#”mark appears next to RBW on the display 
when it is not coupled.
VBW
Key access: [BW] > {VBW}
Changes the analyzer post- detector filter from 1 Hz 
to 1 MHz in a 1, 3, 10 sequence using the knob, 
the step keys, or the numeric keypad.
NOTE
If an unavailable bandwidth is entered using the numeric 
keypad, the closest available bandwidth in the 1, 3, 10 
sequence is used.
NOTE
In non-zero span mode, the value of RBW is determined by 
whether the setting for RBW is Auto or Man (manual).
