Fast Setup
The Model Three features a Fast Setup function for each measurement
mode. The specific setup menu for each mode can be accessed directly
by pressing the

key once while in the Measurement mode. This
makes it unnecessary to go back to the main SETUP menu and look for
nested sub-menus. This allows the operator to quickly make changes in
the settings and return to Measurement mode with no wasted time.
The Model Three displays readings down to -
50 dBmV (+10 dB
