All about Scale Settings
How to Use Scale Settings
Adjust the Y-axis scale to see the relevant portions of the data trace. The Y-axis is divided into 10 
graticules.
This setting can be changed at any time without affecting calibration accuracy.
How to set Scale
—Press Scale / Amptd.
— Then choose from the following three methods:
1. Autoscale
 Automatically adjusts the Y-axis to comfortably fit the Minimum and Maximum 
amplitude of the trace on the screen.
2. Set Scale, acquisition, and Reference Position:
— Scale
 Manually enter a scale per division to view specific areas of the trace
— Ref Level
 Manually set the value of the reference line. Enter a negative value 
by pressing Run/Hold (+/-)
 either before or after typing a value
— Ref Pos
 Manually set the position of the reference line. Values must be 
between 0 (TOP line) and 10 (BOTTOM line)
3. Set Top and Bottom graticule values. The scale per division is calculated.
— Top
 to set the value of the Top graticule.
— Bottom
 to set the value of the Bottom graticule.
— Enter a negative value by pressing Run/Hold (+/-)
 either before or after typing 
a value.
Averaging (CAT, NA, Power Meter, Channel Scanner, and Pulse 
Measurement Modes Only)
Trace Averaging helps to smooth a trace to reduce the effects of random noise on a measurement. 
The FieldFox computes each data point based on the average of the same data point over several 
consecutive sweeps.
