SINAD
The SINAD function is selected by pressing the FUNCTION
THD+N/SINAD key twice, or only once if THD+N mode has already
been selected. It is only available in analog analyzer mode.
The SINAD function is similar to THD+N except that the sign of the
result (always in dB) is reversed. For example, a 12 dB SINAD
measurement corresponds to a –12 dB THD+N measurement.
The SINAD reading is shown in the top left corner of the display. The
units cannot be changed. The top center of the display shows the
amplitude of the signal before filtering. The amplitude units may be
selected by pressing the top center soft key.
The INPUT A and INPUT B keys select the channel to be measured,
and select between the input connectors and the gen-mon path.
