5. Menu Interpretation
This section provides you with the information on using the front
panel of the spectrum analyzer.
5.1 【FREQ】Frequency
The frequency range of a channel can be expressed by either of
two groups of parameters: Start Frequency and Stop Frequency;
or Center Frequency and Span. If any such parameter is changed,
the others would be adjusted automatically in order to ensure the
coupling relationship among them

denotes the center frequency, the stop
frequency, the start frequency and the span respectively.
5.1.1 [Center Freq]
Sets the center frequency of the sweep. When pressed, the
frequency mode is switched to Center Freq and Span in order to
enter the desired parameter data.
Key Points:
⚫ The start and stop frequencies vary with the center frequency
when the span is constant.
⚫
Changing the center frequency horizontally shifts the current
sweep channel and the adjustment is limited by the specified
frequency range.
⚫
In Zero Span mode, the start frequency, stop frequency and
center frequency are always equal. If one is changed the others
are updated to match.
⚫ You can modify this parameter using the numeric keys, knob, or
direction keys.
5.1.2 [Start Freq]
Sets the start frequency of the sweep. When pressed, the
frequency mode is switched to Start Freq and Stop Freq in order to
enter the desired parameter data.
Key Points:
