Alerts
This option enables alerts whenever the signal level exceeds a specified threshold. It operates very
similarly to the way Alerts operate in Spectrum Mode. Three types of alerts are available: audio alerts,
visual alerts, and haptic alerts.
When the alert feature is selected from the mode menu, a dialog box appears. The following
adjustments are available from the dialog box:
Threshold Level - Use the slider bar to set how far above the initial reference trace a signal should be
before it triggers an alert. To begin receiving alerts check the enable box beside the threshold level
adjustment. The threshold level must be adjusted before the enable box is checked.
Audio - Check the Audio box to enable audible alerts. A tone will sound anytime that the threshold is
crossed by the real-time trace.
Visual - Check the Visual box to enable visual alerts. No specific visual markers will appear when the
SmartBars are shown, although any peak trace that is higher than the purple threshold line is an
indication that a signal within that bar has crossed the threshold. However, when zoomed into the point
where trace graphs are shown, a marker will appear at each point where the threshold is crossed.
Haptic - Check the Haptic box to enable haptic alerts. Haptic feedback will be felt anytime that the
threshold is crossed by the real-time trace.
Clear Peak Trace - This button will clear the current peak trace. If the threshold level has already been
enabled, it will not be affected by clearing the peak trace. If the peak trace is cleared before enabling the
threshold, the threshold level will be based on the cleared peak. It is best to allow a peak to collect for a
while before enabling the threshold level.
