noise fl oor, or monitoring a strong signal but some
stronger signals are nearby, adjusting the Reference
level of the screen helps to see these signals.
Even if this setting is changed, it does not affect the
scope input level.
When you adjust the Reference level, the signal
strength for the waterfall also appears to change.
