Getting Acquainted with the EMC

Analyzer

This chapter provides an introduction to the EMC analyzer's front-panel

features, an explanation of screen annotation, the procedure for making a

basic measurement with the EMC analyzer, and the procedure for performing

self-calibration routines. The EMC analyzer also supplies a spectrum analyzer

operating mode with screen annotation described in \Spectrum Analyzer Mode

In Figure

analyzer. The rst letter (\F") indicates the EMC analyzer is in free-run trigger

mode. The second letter (\S") indicates the EMC analyzer is in single-sweep

mode. (\C") indicates the EMC analyzer is in continuous-sweep mode.

Item number 20 refers to the trace modes of the EMC analyzer. The rst letter

(\W") indicates the EMC analyzer is in clear-write mode

. The second letter (\A")

represents trace A. The next two letters (\SB") indicate the store-blank mode

(\S") for trace B (\B"). The trace mode annotation for trace C is displayed under

The WINDOWS display mode splits the screen into two separate displays.Only

one of these displays is active at a time. The currently active window will

have a solid line around the graticule rather than a broken line. The complete

annotation is not available for each window because of space limitations.

free-run trigger mode. The second letter (\S") indicates the spectrum analyzer is

in single-sweep mode.

Item number 22 refers to the trace modes of the spectrum analyzer mode.The

rst letter (\W") indicates the spectrum analyzer is in clear-write mode. The

second letter (\A") represents trace A. The next two letters (\SB") indicate the

CLRBOX[]<x1>,<y1>,<x2>,<y2>

[,(AjT)];

Clears a rectangular area from x1,y1 to x2,y2 on the EMC analyzer display.

You can specify whether the annotation or the traces are to be cleared by

specifying an \A" for the annotation plane or a \T" for the trace plane.If

you do not specify the annotation or trace plane

, both the annotation and

trace planes are cleared.
