SA (Spectrum Analyzer) Mode (Option 233–Mixed Analyzers)
Spectrum Emission Mask (SEM) — (SA Mode Only)
Measurement Type (Meas Type) enables the user to select the 
method used to calculate the reference power level. 
— Total Pwr Ref (Default is Total Pwr Ref) is the total 
integrated reference channel power (dBm) is measured 
and used as the Auto Power Ref value. Peaks found in 
Offset segments remain in (dBm) units for direct 
comparison with (dBm) limits.
— PSD Ref
 the power spectral density (dBm/Hz) is measured 
and used as the Auto Power Ref value. Absolute Limits and 
Peaks found in Offset segments are normalized to their 
equivalent PSD value (dBm/Hz).
— Spec Pk Ref
 the spectral peak value measured within the 
reference channel (dBm) is used as the Auto Power Ref 
value. Peaks found in Offset segments remain in (dBm) 
units for direct comparison with (dBm) limits. Values in the 
table are compared to the peak power of the spectrum.
— Ref Channel
 Opens the Reference Channel softkey menu. Then 
select one of the following:
— Integ BW
 Sets the Integrated bandwidth. 
— Ref Chan Span
 Sets the reference channel span. usually 
set equal or greater than the Integ BW, it is simply a way to 
reserve additional freq range to be measured for display 
presentation, if that range is not overlapped by the offset 
regions. The reference channel is always measured 
completely as specified, but only the central part of the 
reference channel that is NOT overlapped by active offset 
regions is displayed.  (Minimum = 10 Hz/ Maximum = 
Value varies with model and options). 
— Carrier Center
 Tracks currently displayed carrier center 
frequency (Default = TrackCF). Set to Hold to disable the 
carrier frequency tracking.
— Res BW
 Auto/Manual (Default is Auto). Sets the resolution 
bandwidth. See also, “Resolution Bandwidth (Res BW)” 
on page 128.
— Offsets
 Opens the frequency Offsets softkey menu. Then select one 
of the following:
— Offset
 Sets the number of pairs of frequencies to be offset 
(up to eight pairs can be selected). 
The displayed green power (dBm)/frequency (Hz) text changes as the 
Meas Type is toggled.
