Making a Basic Measurement
Refer to the description of the instrument front and rear panels to improve your
understanding of the Keysight Signal Analyzer measurement platform. This
knowledge will help you with the following measurement example.
This section includes:
• “Using the front panel” on page 12
• “Presetting the signal analyzer” on page 13
• “Viewing a signal” on page 14
CAUTION Make sure that the total power of all signals at the analyzer input does not exceed
+30 dBm (1 watt).
Using the front panel
Entering data
When setting measurement parameters, there are several ways to enter or modify the
value of the active function:
Using Menu Keys
Menu Keys (which appear along the right side of the display) provide access to many
analyzer functions. Here are examples of menu key types:
Knob Increments or decrements the current value.
Arrow Keys Increments or decrements the current value.
Numeric Keypad Enters a specific value. Then press the desired terminator (either a unit
softkey, or the
Enter key).
Unit Softkeys Terminate a value that requires a unit-of-measurement.
Enter Key Terminates an entry when either no unit of measure is needed, or you
want to use the default unit.
Toggle Allows you to activate/deactivate states.
Example: Toggles the selection (underlined choice) each time you press
the key.
Submenu Displays a new menu of softkeys.
