ZERO SPAN Submenu
Press this to enter the ZERO SPAN submenu.
In Zero Span mode, the instrument displays the trace of one
discrete frequency over time. Sweep time is on the x-axis, and
amplitude (dBmV) is on the y-axis. You can change the sweep
time for either a closer or a wider look, as necessary.
Zero Span incorporates a large menu of useful features. As with
other modes, you can use the 13 dB amplifier and the 50 MHz
low-pass filter. You can also use the active and inactive (A/B)
markers. In addition, there are elements unique to this
operation available to you. You can trigger the sweep either
manually or automatically to examine the signal. You can also
average successive traces for accurate level measurements.
Notice that the markers change to ‘D’ and ‘U’ (Desired and
Undesired). The marker values are corrected for white noise
and detector crest factor. This will improve the marker accuracy
when you're measuring digital modulated signals and noise
floor.
Press this to enter AMPLIFIER/LOW-PASS FILTER submenu,
then again to return to the ZERO SPAN main menu.
