Anritsu ML2437A - Control

System Menu Front Panel Operation
5-26 PN: 10585-00001 Rev. P ML2437A/38A OM/PM
Source sweep operation mode includes the following display controls:
CHANNEL [GRMD]
Select Channel 1 or Channel 2. The channel selected will be displayed on the left of the
screen, above the middle value of the y axis.
DATA HOLD [GRPIX]
This selects how the graph is displayed on the screen. Select from NORMAL,
Min&Max, Min, or Max.
With Min & Max selected, the minimum and maximum points for each sample are
shown. If Connect Points is ON (SYSTEM > Graphics > CONNECT), a vertical bar is
drawn between these points. Min displays only the minimum for this sample. Max
displays only the maximum for this sample.
MODE [SRCMOD]
Source sweep mode: FREQUENCY or POWER.
START [SRCSTFRQ SRCSTPWR]
Sweep start frequency (MHz or GHz) or power (dBm).
STOP [SRCSPFRQ SRCSPPWR]
Sweep stop frequency (MHz or GHz) or power (dBm).
Control
The Control menu adjusts cursor position and toggles the readout display in Profile, Power
vs. Time and Source Sweep modes, and provides control over display scaling.
SWAP << >> [CUR]
SWAP selects which cursor to move. The presently selected cursor is defined by a
triangular marker at the top of the cursor line. Press the << soft key to move the
selected cursor left, and the >> soft key to move the selected cursor right. Trigger delay
and Gate Width are related to the cursor positions. This feature aids in measurement of
pulsed signals. Changing either cursor, or adjusting the Gate width value, updates both
the cursors and the gate width value.
When enabled through the System > Sound > CURSOR menu selection, if a cursor is
moved into an illegal space such as the edge of the screen or the end of valid data
(trigger point on the left of the screen) a warning beep will sound.
Note
If either Min&Max, Min, or Max is selected, the display will keep the “old” data and
may appear stationary. The DATA HOLD mode in use is displayed on the left of the
screen, below the middle value of the y axis.
Note
When the power meter is communicating with a signal source/generator over the
serial interface, if the source frequency power level or the frequency itself is
changed, the source sweep display will be updated where appropriate.
