18 .4.1.1 Pause
This command pauses the analyzer in all modes of operation, and the last measurement trace remains
frozen on the screen. Pause is a toggle command; to resume the analyzer tap the Pause button again.
18 .4.1.2 Signal Generator
Tapping this button turns the analyzer’s signal generator on or off. When the button is selected (orange), the
Signal Generator is turned on. Use the third-party analyzer software interface to select the type of gener-
ated signal or to adjust the signal generator gain.
18 .4.1.3 Measurement Selection
Tapping this button displays a scrollbar displaying available measurement congurations that have been
pre-congured in your third-party software analyzer.
18.4.2 Spectrum RTA Measurement Mode
The SPECTRUM real‐time analyzer (RTA) display provides real‐time spectrum analyzer functionality. This
display plots the spectrum (magnitude values by frequency) of the channel selected for measurement via
the third-party analyzer software. The SPECTRUM RTA plot assigns magnitude to the (vertical) y‐axis and
frequency to the (horizontal) x-axis.
When the SPECTRUM button is selected, the Lake Controller will show the SPECTRUM display on EQ and
Auxiliary Overlays.
