Mode.

Global CF Mode

Turns on or off the global center frequency. In any working mode, if you enable the
global center frequency mode, then the global center frequency will be set to the
center frequency of the current mode. When a different working mode is selected,
the global center frequency will be set to the center frequency of the previous
working mode, that is, the one that is before switching the working mode. If you
change the center frequency in any working mode, then the global center frequency
will change with it.

Global CF

Sets the global center frequency. It is only available when you turn on the global
center frequency.

Mode Preset

Resets the parameters of the current mode to be the factory default settings.

EMC Standard

Sets the EMC standard to "None" or "CISPR".
 When "None" is selected, the filter type is set to Gauss. At this point, the filter

bandwidth is -3 dB. The instrument will switch to "CISPR" standard
automatically when "Quasi Peak", "CISPR Average" or "RMS Average" detector is
selected. The filter type is set to EMI. At this point, the filter bandwidth is -6 dB.

 When "CISPR" is selected, for Meter 1, the detector is, by default, positive peak;

for Meter 2, the detector is, by default, quasi peak; for Meter 3, the detector is,
by default, CISPR average.

(dB). This average type is the most effective one for finding the low-level
signal that is close to the noise amplitude. The formula is shown as follow:

In the above formula, the parameter unit is dB.

 RMS: In this mode, all filtering and averaging processes work on the power

(the square of the amplitude) of the signal. This average type is best for
measuring the true time average power of complex signals. As the voltage
result is in proportion to the square root of the average of the square of the
voltage, it is also called the root mean square. The formula is shown as

Selected Marker

RSA series provides 8 markers. By default, Marker1 is selected under "Selected
Marker". After you select a marker, you can set parameters such as the marker mode
and the marker trace. The currently enabled marker will be marked on the trace
selected under Marker Trace. The readout of the currently activated marker at the
marker point will be displayed in the measurement result bar at the upper-left corner
of the screen.

Marker Mode

Sets the type of the marker. The available marker modes include Position, Delta, and
Off.

1. Position

It is used to measure the X (Frequency) and Y (Amplitude) values of a certain
point on the trace. When "Position" is selected, a marker whose name is Marker
plus a marker number (such as "Marker1") appears on the trace.

Remarks:

If no active marker exists currently, a marker will be enabled at the midspan

displayed, a marker will be enabled at the midspan frequency, and it will be
displayed at the bottom of the trace display area .

The readout resolution of the X-axis is related to the span. To obtain a

higher readout resolution, reduce the span.

It is used to measure the difference between "reference point" and "certain
point on the trace": X (frequency) and Y (amplitude) value.

Remarks:

If an active marker exists currently, then activate a reference marker at the

current marker; otherwise activate both the reference marker and Delta
marker at the same time at the midspan frequency.

When you change the position of the Delta marker, the position of the

reference marker remains unchanged, but the frequency difference
between the two markers will change along with it.

The frequency difference between the two markers and the amplitude

difference between them are displayed in the measurement result bar at
the upper-left corner of the screen.
