CATALOG
REGISTER
displays the status of state and trace registers in spectrum analyzer memory.
States 1 through 8 are displayed with the center frequency (denoted by CF)
and span (denoted by SP). The status of trace registers 0 to the maximum
number of traces is displayed also. If a trace, limit-line tables, or amplitude
correction factors have been saved in the trace register, the screen title
(denoted by “TL:“) is displayed, otherwise UNUSED is displayed. If the screen
title length allows, or if no title is saved with the trace, the time and date are
displayed. To load the contents of the state or trace register into spectrum
analyzer memory, use the knob or step keys to select the register and press
LOAD FILE . The DELETE FILE key can be used to delete a state or trace
register from spectrum analyzer memory.
Note
Do not use LOAD FILE to load the contents of a trace register containing
limit-line tables or amplitude correction factors.

Front-Panel Key Access: CRECALL) or ISAVE_)
catalogs all of the variables saved in spectrum analyzer memory. Variables can
be saved in analyzer memory by loading in a downloadable program from the
memory card or defining a function using remote programming commands
(VARDEF or TRDEF).
Front-Panel Key Access: I-1 or B
activates the center-frequency function to allow the selection of frequency
that will be at the center of the screen.
Front-Panel Key Access: [AUXCTRL), (NIEAS/USER), or [FREQUENCY)
changes the step size for the center frequency function. Once a step size has
been selected and the center frequency function is activated, the step keys
change center frequency by the step-size value.
The step size function is useful
for finding harmonics and sidebands beyond the spectrum analyzer current
frequency span. When auto-coupled, the center frequency step size is set to
one graticule (10 percent of the span).
Front-Panel Key Access: [AUTO COUPLE) or c-1
allows you to enter a prefix that can be used for saving and recalling data to
and from the memory card, and for cataloging by the prefix. The prefix can
be from one to seven characters long. The longer the prefix, the shorter the
register number must be. The total length of the prefix and register number
cannot exceed eight characters. The prefix can be any character; however,
the underscore should not be the first character of the prefix. Pressing
Change Prefix accesses a menu containing the letters of the alphabet, the
underscore symbol (-), the number symbol (#), a space, and the clear function.
To select a character, press the softkey that displays the group of characters
that contains the desired character. The softkey menu changes to allow you
to select an individual character. If you make a mistake, press [WSP) to space
back over the incorrect character. Additional characters are available by
pressing More 1 of 2 . Numbers may be selected with the numeric keypad.
