SIGLENT 1. Clear Write Erases any data previously stored in the selected trace, and display the data sampled in real-time of each point on the trace. 2. Max Hold Retain the maximum level for each point of the selected trace. Update the data if a new maximum level is detected in successive sweeps. Max Hold is very effective when measuring events that may take successive scans to measure accurately. Some common applications include FM Deviation, AM NRSC, and frequency hopping or drift. 3.

Normal Normal detector (also called ROSENFELL Detector) displays the maximum value and the minimum value of the sample data segment in turn: Odd-numbered data points display the maximum value and even-numbered data points display the minimum value. In this way, the amplitude variation range of the signal is clearly shown. 5.
SIGLENT 2.2.4.2 Sweep Rule The analyzer provides two sweep time rules to meet the different sweep time requirements: Speed: Activates the default fast sweep time rule. Accuracy: Activates the normal sweep time rule to ensure increased measurement accuracy. The Speed sweep time rule provides a fast measurement function that decreases the sweep time. While the Accuracy Sweep rule will increase the measurement accuracy. 2.2.4.
SIGLENT 2.2.4.4 Sweep Mode Sweep mode includes auto mode, sweep mode and FFT mode. 1. Auto When the sweep mode is auto, the analyzer selects the sweep mode automatically between Sweep and FFT Mode in the shortest time. 2. Sweep True swept operation including point-by-point scanning. The Sweep mode is available when the RBW is in 30 Hz – 1 MHz. 3. FFT The FFT mode is only available when RBW is in 1 Hz - 10 kHz. When the tracking generator (TG) is on, the sweep mode is forced to Sweep. 2.2.4.

This value is also displayed in the status bar on the left side of the screen. Return Loss VSWR Reflection Coefficient All three forms reflect the matching condition of the entire cable.
SIGLENT Selecting the appropriate frequency span (= start freq – stop freq) is not as obvious as it may seem. The resolution and maximum distance range are dependent upon the span, the number of frequency data points and the velocity factor of the cable. Therefore, the frequency span must be chosen carefully. There is a constraint that limits the frequency range: The wider the span is, the smaller the maximum distance that can be measured.
SIGLENT Table 4-4 Velocity Factor Parameter Explanation Default 0.66 Range 0.1 ~ 1 Unit N/A Knob Step 0.01 Direction Key Step In 1-2-5 sequence 4.1.6 Cable Atten Set the attenuation factor of the cable-under-test. It is used to compensate the amplitude of peaks in different positions. The DTF calculates the peaks by the final receiving data which has been attenuated by the cable, thus the amplitude of peaks cannot show exactly where the mismatch position is.
SIGLENT No calibration data --- (displayed in gray) Calibrated Cor (displayed in blue) Need to re-calibrate C? (displayed in blue) Note: The calibration status is shown as “C?” which indicates that the scan frequency range is different from the time of calibration. Users need to re-calibrate in the current scan frequency range. 1. Correction Turn on or off the calibration. 2. Calibrate Calibrating with the specified mechanical calibration requires three loads: open, short, and match.
