3 VMA Mode
3.1 Digital Demod Measurement
The F indicates that the instrument is using data from a file (if you wish to return to
looking at data at the analyzer input, change the Data Source control in the
Input/Output, Data Source menu from File back to Input.)
To examine the data you loaded:
Continuous mode
In this mode, turn the knob or use the Up/Down keys on the front panel to move
through records in the recording. You will see Playback Start change from 0 to
successively higher values as you move deeper into the data.
Single mode
In this mode, you can only look at one record. Set the Playback Start time to the
desired offset from zero, then press Restart. A single record will be displayed. Note
that until you press Restart, the “invalid data” indicator (yellow asterisk) is displayed
in each window. After you press Restart, the invalid data indicator disappears.
