keypad to enter the frequency of interest.
3. Press . The
reference level is now adjusted with each sweep so that the frequency
of interest falls on the reference line. Note that the y-axis is now a
relative scale, with all amplitude values referenced to the reference
line. Also note that a small arrow appears underneath the
measurement trace at the point where the frequency of interest
intersects the reference line.
4. To turn reference tracking off, press
. The y-axis reverts to its previous
scale format, and the reference level is readjusted so that the
measurement trace is placed correctly on the display for absolute
measurements.
