How to set Sweep Type
—Press BW 2.
—Then Advanced
—Then Sweep Type
— Then choose from the following:
—Auto
 The FieldFox selects the most efficient sweep type based on the 
Res BW. When Res BW is set to 200 kHz and below, FFT sweep type 
is selected. Above 200 kHz, Step sweep type is being performed. 
—FFT
 The FieldFox uses FFT sweep type regardless of the Res BW. 
—Step
 The FieldFox uses Step sweep type regardless of the Res BW. 
This is useful for capturing impulsive noise that may be generated 
from nearby electrical equipment.
IF Output
The FieldFox IF (intermediate frequency) can be output for external signal 
processing. The signal is available from the IF Out connector on the FieldFox 
right-side panel. See the connector in “Right Side Panel” on page 38.
The IF Out signal, centered at approximately 33.75 MHz, is simply a 
down-converted version of the RF Input signal that is present at the tuned 
frequency.
While outputting an IF signal, the FieldFox stops performing the InstAlign 
process. Therefore, the amplitude of traces on the FieldFox screen is NOT 
accurate and Meas UNCAL appears on the screen to indicate this.  Learn more 
in “Individual Alignments” on page 184.
