the desired reference value, either
0

to
the desired
0
enter the reference on the numeric keys.
(If
the reference value
is
to
be negative, select
reference, or
minus;
that
is,
the Blue Key, then the decimal key.)
3.
Select RATIO. The display will show the measurement result relative
to
the reference.
To use the Previous Ratio function
to
restore
a
previously-entered ratio reference:
1.
Select the desired Measurement mode.
2. Select PREVIOUS RATIO (Blue Key, RATIO). The display
will
show the measurement result
relative
to
the original ratio reference. (The Modulation Analyzer uses the previous ratio reference
regardless of what Measurement the instrument was in when the ratio reference was entered and
regardless of the current Measurement mode.)
To display the ratio (or previous ratio) reference, key
in

The displayed measurement result is

linear units are selected or
0
dB
REL
if
logarithmic
units are selected. (The display
will
normally
vary
about these nominal values due
to
noise and the
typical one-count uncertainty in the measured result.)
If
it
is
desired to scale FM measurement results relative
to
