Key Descriptions
Front-panel key access: FREQUENCY
CF STEP AUTO MAN Adjusts the center-frequency step-size. When this
function is in coupled (AUTO) mode and center
frequency is the active function, pressing a step key
yields a one-division shift (10 percent of span) in the
center frequency for spans greater than 0 Hz. For zero
span, pressing a step key when center frequency is the
active function yields a center-frequency shift equal to
25 percent of the resolution bandwidth. For manual
(MAN) mode, the step size can be adjusted using the
data keys, the step keys, or the knob. After entering a
step size and changing the active function to CENTER
FREQ, use the step keys to adjust the center frequency
by the step size selected. This function is useful for
quickly tuning to the harmonics of an input signal. For
example, to tune to the harmonics of a 300 MHz signal,
set CF STEP AUTO MAN to MAN and enter 300 MHz.
If the center frequency is at 300 MHz, pressing the step
key increases the center frequency to 600 MHz, which
is equal to the second harmonic. Pressing the STEP key
again increases the center frequency by another 300
MHz, to 900 MHz. CF STEP AUTO MAN indicates
whether the step size is in a coupled (AUTO) or manual
(MAN) mode. When the step size is in manual mode,
pressing CF STEP AUTO MAN returns the function to
coupled mode.

AUTO COUPLE or FREQUENCY
CH EDGES→∆MKR Moves the marker locations to ±0.5 channel
spacings from the center frequency. This allows power
measurements within a channel with the ∆MARKER
OCC BW softkey while multiple channels are shown in
the displayed frequency span.
Front-panel key access:
MEAS/USER
CHAN PWR OVER BW Calculates the power and power spectral density
in the channel power bandwidth specified by the
CHPWR BW [ ] softkey, and centered around the
spectrum analyzer center frequency. The center
frequency, reference level, and channel power
bandwidth must be set by the user.
Front-panel key access:
MEAS/USER
CHAN DN Moves the center frequency of the spectrum analyzer
lower in frequency by one channel spacing.
