(Maximum Hold), and m (Minimum Hold). The letters with different colors and in different forms show different meanings.
The letter in blue indicates that the trace is updating. The letter in gray indicates that the trace is not updated. The letter with strikethrough and in gray color indicates that the trace will neither
be updated nor displayed.
The letter with strikethrough and in blue color indicates that the trace is updating
but not displayed. It is useful in trace math operation.
The third line displays the detector type of each trace, including N (Normal, only for
GPSA), V (Voltage Average, only for GPSA), P (Positive Peak), p (Negative Peak), S (Sample), R (RMS Average, only for GPSA), Q (Quasi Peak, only for GPSA) and A (Average, only for RTSA). If it shows "f", it indicates that it is math operation trace. The letter in blue in the third line (detector type) indicates that the detector is in auto state; the letter in white indicates that it is in manual state.

To Prepare for Use

To Adjust the Supporting Legs

You can unfold the supporting legs to use them as stands to tilt the instrument upwards for easier operation and observation. You can also fold the supporting legs for easier storage or shipment when the instrument is not in use.
Figure 4 To Adjust the Supporting Legs

To Connect to AC Power

Please use the power cord provided in the accessories to connect the spectrum analyzer to the AC power source. The AC power supply specification of this spectrum analyzer is 100-240 V, 45-440 Hz. The power consumption of the instrument cannot exceed 95 W. When the spectrum analyzer is connected to the AC power source via the power cord, the instrument automatically adapts to the voltage range, and you do not need to select the voltage range manually.

CAUTION
To avoid electric shock, ensure that the instrument is correctly grounded.

Turn-on Checkout

After connecting the instrument to the power source properly, press the Power
key on the front panel to start the spectrum analyzer. Then, you will see an initial splash screen. Following the start-up screen which shows the start-up initialization process information, the sweep curve is displayed.

Self-calibration

After the instrument starts, execute self-calibration. Press System Alignment Align Now, and then the instrument will perform self-calibration with the internal calibration source.

To Set the System Language

RSA5000 series spectrum analyzer supports multiple system languages. You can press System Language to switch the system language.

Basic Operations

Mouse/Keyboard/Touch Screen Operation Rule

Mouse Operation Rule
Connect the mouse (note that only the left-click operation is supported; the scroll and right-click operations with the mouse are not supported) to the spectrum analyzer via the USB HOST interface to perform the following operations:
1. Click to select the menu and window.
2. Press and hold the left mouse button to drag the data displayed on the
graticule or move the slide bar.
3. Double-click the data displayed on the graticule and then the data will be
appeared at the right-corner.
4. Under the Marker function, you can only use the mouse to move a marker,
but unable to add a marker with the mouse.
Keyboard Operation Rule
Connect the keyboard to the spectrum analyzer via the USB HOST interface, and then use the shortcut keys on the keyboard to perform the same function as what you do with the front panel keys.
