Scale
Resolution
Each measurement display is annotated with the
scale resolution. For log-magnitude displays resolu
-
tion ranges from 0.001 to 50 dB per division. Linear
displays of magnitude range from 0.001 to 50 units
per division. Cartesian phase displays can range
from 0.01 to 90 degrees per division. The polar dis
-
play is 45 degrees per display graticule.
Frequency
Range
Each measurement display is annotated with the
frequency range of the measurement.

Sweep
Indicator
Marker
A blue sweep-indicator marker appears at the bot-
tom of each displayed graph-type under certain
sweep conditions (<500 ms, none; 500 ms to <1 sec,
flashing bar; >1 sec, sweeping bar). It indicates the
progress of the current sweep. When measuring
quiet data—that is, data having few or no perturba-
tions—this indicator assures that the instrument is
indeed sweeping. Its position is proportional to the
number of data points measured in the current
sweep. If the sweep should stop for any reason, the
position of the indicator will stop changing until the
sweep resumes.
