Trace/Detector
trace query results. In other words, both trace query result and marker Y become independent of
the Y Axis Unit chosen in the Y Axis Unit menu when normalize is on.
(In Linear, the equivalent calculation is performed but it yields a dimensionless ratio, so the
normalized ref level will be unitless, presetting to 1, just as in Log it presets to 0 dB).
Y Axis annotation is blanked while in Normalize. Any other traces on the display are plotted in
dB, where the dB value used is equivalent to the dBm value of the trace. For example, if bucket 1
in trace 2 is at –40 dBm, that bucket is plotted at –40 dB. All traces use Norm Ref Lvl and Norm
Ref Posn for positioning on the display. When Normalize exits, the normal Ref Lvl is restored.
This normal Ref Level is unaffected by Normalize.
Normalize Block Diagram
A block diagram showing how Normalize works is presented below:
Store Ref (1 -> 3)
Copies trace 1 into trace 3. Store Ref (1→ 3) must be pressed before pressing Normalize (On).
Note that this puts Trace 3 in Update=Off (not updating) and Display=On (visible).
Key Path Trace/Detector, Normalize
Notes There is no remote command for this function, however the trace copy command can be used for
this purpose.
Dependencies If Normalize (On) is pressed before Store Ref (1→ 3), an error message is generated. Normalize
remains off in this case.

Show Ref Trace (Trace 3)
Views or blanks the reference trace on the display. The reference trace is trace 3, so this is the
same as setting Trace 3’s “Display” attribute.
