Instrument Overview
This chapter introduces the front-panel and rear-panel keys and connectors on
the 8560 E-Series and EC-Series sp ectrum analyzers. Complete descriptions
of each front-panel function are in Chapter 5 of the 8560 E-Series and 8560
EC-Series User's Guide.
Instrument Overview 1-1
The Front Panel

1. FREQUENCY, SPAN, and AMPLITUDE are the fundamental functions for
most measurements. The HOLD key freezes the active function and holds it
at a set value until a function key is pressed again. HOLD also blanks the
softkey menu and expands the graticule display horizontally to ll the full
CRT.
2. INSTRUMENT STATE functions generally aect the state of the entire
spectrum analyzer, not just the state of a single function.
3. MARKER functions read out frequencies and amplitudes along the
spectrum analyzer trace, let you make relative measurements, automatically
locate the signal of highest amplitude on a trace, and tune the analyzer to
track a signal automatically.
4. CONTROL functions allowyou to adjust the resolution and video
bandwidths, the sweep time, and the display, and let you vary other
functions that control spectrum analyzer measurement capabilities.
1-2 Instrument Overview
5. DATAkeys, STEP keys, and the knob allowyou to change the numeric
value of an active function. Use the data keys to enter an exact value or
to move quickly from one end of the frequency range to the other. The
step keys vary a value in predened increments or, for some functions, in
increments that you choose. The knob allows you to ne-tune most numeric
values.
6. The front-panel connectors include an RF input, an active-probe power,
a 300 MHz calibrator signal, a 310.7 MHz IF input (not available on the
8560E/EC ,Option 002), and a rst LO output. A short specication

which extends the frequency coverage down to 30 Hz, is
especially susceptible to damage from dc voltages.

EC-series are shown in Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4; 8560 E-series and EC-series
instruments are functionally identical, except that 8560 EC-series instruments
oer a VGA port. Descriptions of these functions follow.

Making a Basic Measurement
A basic measurementinvolves tuning the spectrum analyzer to place a signal
on the screen, then measuring the frequency and amplitude of the signal with a
marker.
We can measure an input signal in four simple steps:

Making a Basic Measurement 2-1
As an example, we will measure the 300 MHz calibration signal. First, switch
on the spectrum analyzer (for maximum accuracy, if the analyzer has just
been powered up, allow for a 5-minute warmup). Connect the analyzer CAL
OUTPUT to the INPUT 50 on the front panel, and complete these steps:
1. Set the center frequency.
Press

display. See Figure 2-1.To set the center frequency to 300 MHz, use the
keys in the DATA section of the front panel to enter 300 MHz. These data
keys allowyou to select the exact numeric value of the active function,
which, in this case, is the center frequency. The step keys and knob also
allowyou to select function values.

key to \step down" to this value. (Like data keys, step keys can also b e used
to change the numeric value of the active function.) The resulting display
is shown in Figure 2-2. Note that the resolution and video bandwidths
are coupled to the frequency span; they are automatically adjusted to
appropriate values for a given span. Sweep time is a coupled function also.

This activates the normal marker and places it at the center of the trace
(in this case, at or near the peak of the signal). Use the knob to place the
marker at the peak of the signal. The marker reads both the frequency and
the amplitude, and displays these values in the active function block. In this
case, the marker reads

Generally, placing the signal peak at the reference level provides the best
measurement accuracy. When a marker is active, a fast method to ne-tune
