3 VMA Mode
3.1 Digital Demod Measurement
When Spur Avoidance is enabled (the default), the instrument uses a software
algorithm to remove this spur from the displayed measurement data, but the
algorithm only operates under certain conditions. Specifically, it only operates when
the Info BW <= maxBW/2.5. See "More Information" on page 302.
You can disable this function to speed up your measurement by setting Spur
Avoidance to “Disabled.”
Note that when Spur Avoidance is not in effect, either because you have disabled it
or because the Info BW > maxBW/2.5, the following warning message will appear in
the status bar: “Settings Alert; Spur Avoidance Off”. This is to alert you that
measurement accuracy might be impacted by the fact that Spur Avoidance is not in
effect.
