Presetting the Spectrum Analyzer
Preset provides a known starting point for making measurements. The
analyzer has two types of preset:
For details, see the User’s/Programmer’s manual.
Creating a User Preset and Power-Up State
User Preset recalls the power-up state, applying the defaults you define
using the Save State button. When you save a state to be used as the
User Preset power-up state, you must name the state “Powerup”. If you
want to use the Agilent-defined defaults at power-up, press
Mode Preset
to restore the Agilent-defined defaults and save that state as a new
Powerup state file.
If you constantly use settings which are not the factory defaults, use the
following steps to create a user-defined preset:
NOTE If “Powerup” state already exists in the catalog list, you can set the
state to your preferences and then select “Powerup” in the list. The
catalog list can be viewed by selecting Save, Catalog.
1. Set analyzer parameters as desired.
2. Set filename to “Ask”. Press Save, Name, Filename (Ask).
3. Save to the internal hard drive. Press Return, Device, Internal.
4. Save Powerup state. Press Type, State, Save Now.
5. Using the knob or arrow keys, select the letters from the alphabet
window to create the word, “Powerup” and press
OK. The message,
“State was saved successfully: C:Powerup” is displayed. Press
OK again to return to the Save key menu.
The parameters saved in this “Powerup” state file are now enabled
as the user preset option and as the default power-up state.
Disabling User Preset
To restore the factory defined Power On settings, press
Mode Preset and
follow the steps listed above to save the resulting state as the new
“Powerup” state file. This will restore the factory-defined default
settings as the power-on settings and as the user preset settings.
Mode Preset This type of preset restores the currently
selected mode to a known factory-defined
state.
User Preset Restores the analyzer to a user-defined state.
User Preset uses the factory-defined state
until you create a custom user preset file.
