Defining the bargraph scale
The scale of the bargraph depends on the reference level and the level range.
The reference level is the maximum power level that the bargraph displays. You should
set the reference level in a way that the signal level does not exceed the reference
level. It should also be high enough so that the signal does not disappear in the inher-
ent noise.
1. Press the "Ampt" key to open the amplitude menu.
2. Select the "Reference Level" menu item.
3. Define the reference level that best fits the measurement.
If you measure unknown signals, define a high reference level in combination with
a high attenuation to avoid an input overload.
In the default state, the reference level corresponds to the level at the right of the
bargraph. A triangle in the bargraph scale indicates the position of the reference
level.
If necessary, you can move the reference position to another position on the scale.
