Alternate
gain compression
level
if
present, the gain-compression error of signal peaks below
the dashed line does not exceed the gain-compression error
of the mixer-input-level setting (usually about 1 dB for mixer
levels of
0
5 dBm).
Alternate reference level
when present, supersedes the top graticule line.
Amplitude oset
indicates the amount of oset added to all amplitude
annotation.
Box
selects the character for transfer to the title line or the data
line. Also marks character for modication in the data line.
Character set
provides character entry into the title line or the data line.
Data line
is a scratch pad for composing or displaying custom
functions. Also shows data entry for
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
TITLE
and
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
COMMAND
functions
.
Detection mode
lights when measurements are made with optional detection
modes.
Error message
explains the type of error sensed. Refer to Chapter 6 for a
description
of
system
error
messages
.
Frequency oset
indicates the amount of oset added to frequency
annotation.
Function in progress
lights while some functions execute, such as video averaging.
Also lights when some functions change while the sweep is
progressing.
Message area
describes the progress of some functions.
Over sweep
provides faster sweep times, when autocoupled, by allowing
an additional 2% of frequency error and 2 dB of amplitude
error before displaying the uncalibrated indicator (UNCAL).
Space
enters
a
space
into
the
title line or data line.
Title
line
contains messages composed with
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
TITLE
.
