FREQ

Set spectrum analyzer’s various frequency parameters. Spectrum analyzer sweeps frequency within set frequency range. Once frequency parameters have been changed, it begins to sweep again.

Spectrum analyzer has two types of channel frequency range at present: start frequency/stop frequency, center frequency/span. If any one of them is adjusted, the other three parameters are adjusted accordingly, so as to satisfy coupling relationship among them.

SPAN

Activate span function, and set spectrum analyzer in span mode at the same time. [Span], [Full span], [Zero span] and [Previous span] pop up at the same time by pressing SPAN key. Span can be set by number keys or stepping key. Span can be set as 0 by number keys or [ Zero span].

AMP

Set parameters related with amplitude of spectrum analyzer. By adjusting these parameters, measured signal can be displayed in current window in a certain manner which is easy for observation and is able to minimize measurement errors.

BW/SWP

Set spectrum analyzer’s resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth, sweep time, mode and other related parameters.

AUTO

Automatically search signal within full band, and adjust frequency and amplitude to optimal to realize signal search and auto parameter setting by one key.

TRACE

Sweep frequency signal is displayed by trace on the screen. Related parameters of trace can be set by this menu. 5 trace at most can be displayed at the same time. Soft menu related with trace pops up by pressing this key.

MEAS

Provide various advanced measurement functions, including time spectrum, adjacent channel power, channel bandwidth, and occupied bandwidth.

MODE

Provide other measurement functions, including tracking source, signal source, frequency discrimination properties, demodulation, trigger, and Pass-Fail.

MARKER

Frequency marker is a diamond marker, used to mark points on trace. Amplitude, frequency or sweep time point of points on trace can be read out by marker.

PEAK

Open setup menu of peak search, and perform peak search function.

SYS

Operations related with system: system information, language, date and time, network, start-up/reset, file, save, print, display, backlight adjustment, user calibration and system service.

First-time Power-on of the Spectrum Analyzer

The Handheld Spectrum Analyzer is supplied by power adapter or internal battery. When battery is fully charged, internal battery can supply power for about 4 hours if spectrum analyzer works normally. Battery of this device can’t store power during transportation, so, such battery must be charged before first-time use. Battery can be charged while power adapter provided along with equipment supplies power to instrument.

Battery not only can be charged when instrument is power on, but also when it is power off. Time for charging is about 4 hours when instrument is power on or off.

Troubleshooting

Black screen and without any display after start-up

1)Check whether fan works normally:

1. If fan works normally, connection wire of display screen may be loose;
2. If fan doesn’t work normally, instrument is not normally started. At this time, please handle according to step (2), (3), or (4).

2)If battery supplies power: confirm whether battery is in good condition and has been correctly  installed.
3)If adapter supplies power: confirm whether model of adapter is right and such adapter works normally.
4)If power adapter works normally, fuse inside instrument may be burnt out. Please contact with manufacturer for repairing.

No response or error of key value by pressing keys

 In case of error of key value, keyboard may be broken. Please contact with manufacturer for repairing.

No signal displayed after normal start-up

Steps: set frequency and power of signal generator respectively as 30 MHz, -20 dBm, connect this signal with RF input; or connect spectrum analyzer’s 10 MHz reference with RF input; if there is still no signal displayed, equipment hardware failure may occur. Please contact with manufacturer.

Signal frequency inaccurately displayed

When test signals, if signal frequency read out is beyond allowable error limit, or signals shakes on the screen:

1. Check whether input signal is stable. If yes, please check according to step (2);
2. Check internal and external references of spectrum analyzer is normal. Select reference as internal or external reference depending on different tests: press Frequency [Frequency reference Internal External], if frequency read out is still inaccurate, lock-loss may occur to internal circuit of spectrum analyzer.

Signal amplitude inaccurately displayed

If displayed signal amplitude is inaccurate, please check according to following steps:

1. Check whether signal amplitude input is right. If yes, please check according to step (2) or (3);
2. Re-calibration: set frequency and power of signal generator respectively as 440MHz, -20dBm. Connect this signal to spectrum analyzer’s RF input, and click System [Next page] [Next page] [User calibration] [Start calibration] in turn.
3. If signal amplitude displayed is still inaccurate after re-calibration, hardware failures of spectrum analyzer may occur.
