3.2.2.2 Zone Spectrum
Window #2
In the Zone Span view, the screen is split into two windows. The top window is a
normal spectrum analyzer window, and the bottom window (Zone Window) shows a
window whose span represents a region (zone) within the top window.

The data in the two windows represents two completely separate sweeps; each
window sweeps only when the focus (thick green border) is on that window. It is
important to understand that the data in the window without the focus remains
unchanged until the focus is moved to that window.
In the top window, the zone region is indicated by a light orange shading and solid
orange boundary lines. The Zone Window is not shaded orange; this emphasizes the
fact that, unlike Trace Zoom, the data in the Zone Window does not match the top
window but is from a separate sweep. You can set the span of the Zone Window
using "Zone Span" on page 299 (in the Frequency menu) and you can set the center
frequency of the Zoom Window using "Zone Center" on page 298 (in the Frequency
menu).
Note that in Zone Span, the span of the top window cannot go below 10 Hz. The
Zero Span toggle does not appear in Zone Span. If, on entry to Zone Span, the Span
is 0 Hz, Span reverts to the last nonzero span. Also, if the span of the top window is
between 10 Hz and 100 Hz on transition, Zone Span initializes to 10 Hz, not 10% of
Span.

In Zone Span, the window with the focus (the selected window) is the window that
updates. The selected window has a thick green border around it. When you enter
