SA Mode Settings
Scale and Units
Adjust the Y-axis scale to see the relevant portions of the data trace.
The Y-axis is divided into 10 graticules. A acquisition is shown on the screen as
a solid horizontal bar that can be placed at any graticule.
When RF Attenuation set to Auto, the RF Attenuation is coupled to acquisition.
How to set Scale
Press Scale / Amptd. Then choose from the following:
— Autoscale Automatically adjusts the Y-axis to comfortably fit the Minimum
and Maximum amplitude of the trace on the screen.
— Scale Manually adjust the scale per division to view specific areas of the
current trace. Enter a value using the numeric keypad, the arrows, or
the rotary knob. Then press Enter
.
—
Ref Level
Manually set the value of the reference line. Enter a negative
value by pressing Run/Hold (+/-)

line.
—Lin Linear scale. The Y-axis reference line represents the specified
absolute acquisition in the current Unit selection. Y-axis graticules
show percent of acquisition (%) below or above the reference line.
