Measurements Modes
The instrument can simultaneously show any four of these outputs on the front panel display:
X In-phase
Y Quadrature
R Magnitude
ø Phase Angle
|
Noise |
Harmonic |
nF, n≤ 65, 536 |
Dual Harmonic
Simultaneously measures the signal at
two different harmonics F1 and F2of the
reference frequency |
|
Dual Reference
Simultaneously measures the signal at
two different reference frequencies, F1
F2 where F1 is the external and F2the
internal reference |
|
Frequency Range for Dual Harmonic and Dual Reference Modes |
F1 and F2 ≤ 20 kHz |
Virtual Reference
Locks to and detects a signal without a
reference (100 Hz ≤ F ≤ 250 kHz) |
|
Noise
Measures noise in a given bandwidth
centered at the reference frequency F |
|
Spectral Display
Gives a visual indication of the spectral
power distribution of the input signal in a
user-selected frequency range lying
between 1 Hz and 60 kHz. Note that
although the display is calibrated in
terms of frequency, it is not calibrated
for amplitude. Hence it is only intended
to assist in choosing the optimum
reference frequency |
