6. Repeatedly press MENU until the instrument returns to normal operation.
CAUTION. This function is used mostly for troubleshooting by qualified technicians.
It is not recommended that you use the 1502C as a stand-alone monitoring device.
The input circuitry is very sensitive and can be easily damaged by even moderate
level signals.
NOTE. In this mode, the 1502C is acting as a detector only. Any pulses detected will
not originate from the instrument, so any distance readings will be invalid. If you
are listening to a local area network, for example, it is possible to detect traffic, but
not possible to measure the distance to its origin.
Pulse is: Off can be used in conjunction with Max Hold is: On.
7. To exit Pulse is: Off, access the Acquisition Control Menu again, turn pulse back
on, then push MENU until the instrument returns to normal operation.
