Instrument Overview

This chapter introduces the front-panel and rear-panel keys and connectors on

the 8560 E-Series and EC-Series spectrum analyzers. Complete descriptions

of each front-panel function are in Chapter 5 of the 8560 E-Series and 8560

EC-Series User's Guide.

Instrument Overview 1-1

The Front Panel

Figure 1-1. 8560 E-Series and EC-Series Front Panel

1. FREQUENCY, SPAN, and AMPLITUDE are the fundamental functions for

most measurements. The HOLD key freezes the active function and holds it

at a set value until a function key is pressed again. HOLD also blanks the

softkey menu and expands the graticule display horizontally to ll the full

CRT.

2. INSTRUMENT STATE functions generally aect the state of the entire

spectrum analyzer, not just the state of a single function.

3. MARKER functions read out frequencies and amplitudes along the

spectrum analyzer trace, let you make relative measurements, automatically

lo cate the signal of highest amplitude on a trace, and tune the analyzer to

track a signal automatically.

4. CONTROL functions allowyou to adjust the resolution and video

bandwidths, the sweep time, and the display, and let you vary other

functions that control spectrum analyzer measurement capabilities.
