Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation This chapter describes in detail the function keys at the front panel and the associated functions.
RIGOL Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation Basic Settings FREQ Set the frequency parameters of the analyzer. The analyzer sweeps within a specified frequency range, and the sweep is restarted every time you change the frequency parameters. The frequency range of a channel can be expressed by either of two groups of parameters: Start Frequency and Stop Frequency （ f start / f stop ） ; or Center Frequency and Span（ f center / f span ）.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL Center Freq Set the center frequency of the current channel. Press this key to switch to center frequency/span input mode and the center frequency and span values are displayed at the lower left and right sides of the grid respectively. Key Points: The start and stop frequencies vary with the center frequency when the span is constant.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL span would affect other system parameters. For more details, please refer to “Span”. In Zero Span mode, the start frequency, stop frequency and center frequency are always the same. If one is changed, the others are updated to match. You can modify this parameter using the numeric keys, knob or direction keys. Refer to “Parameter Setting” for more details. Table 2-2 Start Frequency Parameter Explanation Default 0 GHz Range * 0 Hz to 1.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL Table 2-3 Stop frequency Parameter Explanation Default 1.5 GHz * Range 0 Hz to 1.5 GHz Unit GHz, MHz, kHz, Hz Knob Step Span > 0, step = Span/200 Span = 0, step = VBW/100 Min = 1 Hz Direction Key Step CF step * Note: The range is from 100 Hz to 1.5 GHz in non-zero span. CF Step Set the step of center frequency. Changing the center frequency in a fixed step continuously switches the channel to be measured.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL Signal Track Turn on or off signal track. This function is used to track and measure signal with unstable frequency and less than 3 dB transient variation in amplitude by placing Marker1 (see “Marker Measurements”) onto the signal under measurement to track and measure the variation of the signal continuously.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL center frequency to hold the signal at the center of the screen. If no marker is currently active, when Signal Track is enabled, the instrument will activate Marker 1, execute a peak search automatically and set the frequency of the current peak as the center frequency to hold the signal at the center of the screen. In continuous sweep, the system tracks the signal continuously; in single sweep, only one track is done; in Zero Span, Signal Track is invalid.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL Peak Center Freq Figure 2-3 After Peak->CF CF -> Step Set the current center frequency as the CF step. At this point, the CF step will switch to "Manual" mode automatically. This function is usually used with channel switching. Take harmonic waveform measurement for example: locate a signal at the center frequency of a channel, execute CF-> Step and then continuously press the down direction key to measure each order of harmonic in sequence.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL SPAN Set the span of the analyzer. The change of this parameter will affect the frequency parameters and restart the sweep. Span Set the frequency range of the current channel. Press this key to switch to center frequency/span input mode and the center frequency and span are displayed at the lower left and right sides of the grid respectively. Key Points: The start and stop frequencies vary with the span automatically.
RIGOL Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation Full Span Set the span of the analyzer to the maximum. Zero Span Set the span of the analyzer to 0 Hz. Both the start and stop frequencies will equal the center frequency and the horizontal axis will denote time. The analyzer measures the time domain characteristics of the amplitude of the corresponding frequency point on the input signal.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL Last Span Set the span to the previous span setting.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL AMPT Set the amplitude parameters of the analyzer. Through modifying these parameters, signals under measurement can be displayed in a proper mode for easier obsercation and minimum error. Auto Scale This function enables the readout resolution of the Y-axis to be the maximum possible while at the same time ensures the completeness of the signal.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL Figure 2-5 After Auto Scale Ref Level Set the maximum power or voltage can be currently displayed in the window and the value is displayed at the upper left corner of the screen grid. Key Points: The maximum reference level available is affected by the maximum mixing level, input attenuation and preamplifier.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL Table 2-6 Reference level Parameter Explanation Default 0 dBm Range -100 dBm to 20 dBm Unit dBm, -dBm, mV, uV Knob Step in Log scale mode, step = Scale/10 in Lin scale mode, step = 0.1 dBm Direction Key Step in Log scale mode, step = Scale in Lin scale mode, step = 1 dBm Input Atten Set the front attenuator of the RF input in order to ensure big signals (or small signals) to pass from the mixer with low distortion (or low noise).
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL Scale/Div Set the logarithmic units per vertical grid division on the display. This function is only available when the scale type is set to “Log”. Key Points: By changing the scale, the amplitude range available is adjusted. The range of the amplitude that can be displayed: Minimum: reference level – 10 × the current scale value Maximum: the reference level. You can modify this parameter using the numeric keys, knob or direction keys.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL “Volts” in Lin scale type when the scale type is changed from Log to Lin. The scale type does not affect the unit of Y-axis. Units Set the unit of the Y-axis to dBm, dBmV, dBuV, Volts or Watts. Wherein, dBm, dBmV, and dBuV are for Log scale; Volts and Watts are for Linear scale. The default is dBm. Key Points: The conversion relationships between units: Volts 2 1 dBm 10 log 0.

Table 2-9 Reference level offset Parameter Explanation Default 0 dB Range -300 dB to 300 dB Unit dB Knob Step N/A Direction Key Step N/A Auto Range Adjust the amplitude parameters within the current span range automatically in order to display the whole signal optimally on the screen.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL Figure 2-7 After Auto Range Key Points: Unlike Auto Scale, this function can solve the problem of signal overrange due to parameter settings and adjust the maximum mixing level according to the signal under measurement. Unlike Auto, this function adjusts the signal within the current channel and does not modify the channel frequency setting. While, Auto will search for signal within the full frequency range and locate the signal at the center frequency.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL Start Peak Search Peak > Ref Level? N Y Adjust Ref Level Large signal? N Y Decrease maximum mixing level Increase maximum mixing level Auto Scale Stop Figure 2-8 Process of Auto Range RF Preamp Set the status of the preamplifier located at the front of the RF signal path. Turning on the preamplifier reduces the displayed average noise level in order to distinguish small signals from the noise when the signal under measurement is small.
RIGOL Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation Correction Correct the amplitude in order to compensate for the gain or loss from external devices such as Antenna and Cable. When using this function, you can view the correction data table and save or load the current correction data. When Correction is On, both the trace and related measurement results will be corrected, and the corresponding icon is shown in the status bar at the left of the screen. 1.

Range: -120 dB to 100 dB Del Point Delete the specified point data in the correction factor: frequency and amplitude correction. 4.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL MaxMixL Set the max input level of the mixer according to the magnitude of the signal. Key Points: For a larger input signal, select a smaller maximum mixing level to increase the input attenuation and reduce the distortion of the signal; for a smaller input signal, select a larger maximum mixing level to reduce the input attenuation and noise. Parameters in inequality (2-3) are always modified on the basis of the maximum mixing level.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL Sweep and Function Settings BW/Det Set the RBW (Resolution Bandwidth), VBW (Video Bandwidth) and detector type parameters of the analyzer. RBW Set the desired resolution bandwidth in order to distinguish between signals which are close in frequency. Key Points: Reducing RBW will increase the frequency resolution, but will increase the sweep time (Sweep Time is affected by a combination of RBW and VBW when it is in Auto mode).
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL VBW Set the desired video bandwidth in order to filter out the noise outside the video band. Key Points: Reducing the VBW will smooth the spectrum line to differentiate small signals from noise, but will increase the sweep time (Sweep Time is affected by a combination of RBW and VBW when it is in Auto mode). VBW varies with RBW when it is set to Auto. While in Manual mode, VBW is not affected by RBW.
Chapter 2 Front Panel Operation RIGOL Table 2-14 V/R Ratio Parameter Explanation Default 1 Range 0.0000010 to 30000 Unit N/A Knob Step in 1, 3, 10 sequence Direction Key Step in 1, 3, 10 sequence Detector Type The analyzer displays the sweeped signal on the screen in the form of trace.
