50 Agilent N8201A Performance Downconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 26.5 GHz
2 Amplitude / Y Scale
Scale Type
Allows you to choose a linear or logarithmic vertical scale for the display and for remote
data readout.
The scale type for display and remote data readout may be different from the scale used for
averaging processes. For information on the scale used for the averaging process, see
“Avg/VBW Type" on page 85.
When Scale Type (Log) is selected, the vertical graticule divisions are scaled in logarithmic
units. The top line of the graticule is the Reference Level and uses the scaling per division,
Scale/Div to assign values to the other locations on the graticule.
When Scale Type (Lin) is selected, the vertical graticule divisions are linearly scaled with
the reference level value at the top of the display and zero volts at the bottom. Each vertical
division of the graticule represents one-tenth of the Reference Level.
The Y-axis units used for each type of display are set by pressing Y Axis Units. The N8201A
remembers the settings for both Log and Lin.
