Edit Menu 3.5.2
Title – Enable or disable a custom title. The title appears above the graticule and is
included in the screen captures via printing as well as session recordings.
Clear Title – Remove the current title.
Colors – Load various default graticule and trace color schemes.
Title – Enable or disable a custom title. The title appears above the graticule and is

Preferences – Opens a configuration dialog allowing the further configuration of the
software. Hovering the mouse over each option will provide more information. See Getting
Started: Preferences.
Presets 3.5.3
The presets menu bar provides a way for users to manage the preset functionality for the software. Each
preset offers the capability to recall a full software configuration. This is convienent for recalling specific
measurement configurations. Presets can be renamed. Presets can be recalled with keyboard shortcuts.
Both spectrum analysis settings and audio player settings are saved and loaded with presets. The mode of
operation is also saved.
Settings 3.5.4
Sweep Delay – Introduce an artificial sweep delay for standard sweep mode only. This will
slow your sweeps down by up to 1 second allowing some users an easier time tracking
marker values or noisy signals.
Real-Time Update Interval – Change how long data is masked together in real-time
mode before returning a trace.
Reference – Change the source of the BB60s reference oscillator. You can choose to use
the internal reference or an attached 10MHz reference on the appropriate BNC port.
o Internal – Use the internal 10MHz clock
o External Sin Wave – Use an external AC 10MHz reference clock
o External CMOS-TTL – Use an external 10MHz CMOS input clock.
Spur Reject - When spur rejection is on additional signal processing is enabled attempting
to remove spurious signals which are the result of mixing products. Spur rejection roughly
doubles sweep time and is great for cleaning up a steady signal, but should not be used for
pulsed RF, or modulated signals. Spur rejection is not available in real-time mode.
Spectrum Analysis 3.5.5
Idle – Cause the device to enter an idle mode. No trace is displayed in this mode. Playback
is possible in idle mode.
Swept Analysis – Enter standard swept analysis.
Real-Time Analysis – Enter real-time mode.
Zero-Span – Enter zero-span mode.
