Scan Rates
Two scan rates can be selected in Scan mode, normal and fast. Select Scan
Rate in the MEASUREMENT menu (from the Global Configuration menu).
The fast scan feature allows for rapid scan displays, at reduced accuracy (as
much as 2 dB on scrambled channels.) Normal scan rate is slower, but is
much more accurate. When fast is selected, a speeding bullet icon appears
in the upper left hand corner of the SCAN screen.
Audio Carriers
You can omit audio carriers for a faster scan. In the MEASUREMENT
submenu, scroll to Scan Audio Carriers and use the up and down diamond
keys to change to No. An “X’d out” audio icon indicator appears in the upper
left hand corner of the SCAN screen when audio carriers are omitted.
• Use the up and down diamond keys to change the reference level in
dBmV.
• Use the left and right diamond keys to move the marker.
• At the top left of he screen are reference level value in dBmV and the
scale in dB/div.
• At the lower left and lower right corners of the graph you see the Start
and Stop frequencies currently in effect for the scan.
