Use the Frequency Panel to set up the start, stop, and center frequency of the trace displayed.

You can also set the Span by entering a value or by setting the span using the preset buttons:

Set the amplitude, bandwidth, and input parameters for measurement.

Select the Sweep tab to set Trace parameters and Sweep parameters.

Select this tab to do additional post-processing calculations on the spectrum data. An Auto-Save function is available to save traces to Monitor Memory or to a USB stick.

Set up markers on the trace displayed. Useful in marking specific frequencies or amplitudes. Eight markers are available for trace analysis.

Create and edit limit lines, limit masks and save on event functions. An audible alarm can also be set.

There are two types of display controls, display resolution and color management. There is also a check box to turn on/off the Spectrogram.

Opens the panel to file management functions - Save, Recall, Copy and Delete.

Select this tab to perform firmware updates, presets, other functions that affect the whole system, and view GPS information.

The System section contains system information like firmware version, installed options, and Remote Spectrum Monitor GPS status, and RSM in use setting. Here the GPS supply voltage can be set to 3.3 V or 5 V.

When a System Preset is initiated the system is restored to factory default settings. See Table: Primary Factory Settings Primary Factory Settings.

The following are GPS information for the Remote Spectrum Monitor when GPS is enabled.

The SCPI tab opens a console where users can directly type in SCPI commands and view the response of SCPI queries, or execute a sequence of commands contained in a text file. For example, you may want to add a custom name or label to identify a particular RSM unit. For example, enter the command string SYST:UNIT:“name”. The console also reflects any SCPI commands that were sent as a result of interacting with a control on a different tab. For more information refer to Programming with SCPI.

The IQ Capture measurement captures raw data, magnitude/phase or real/imaginary, components of a waveform. See Figure: IQ Capture Measurement Sample. Select this tab to configure the parameters for IQ Capture and to view captured data in the Data Display.
