Detection Mode
Depending on measurement settings, many more data points are col-
lected than there are pixels on the screen. Detection modes allow the
user to choose how the collected data in each pixel is represented.
+ Peak Detection
Returns the maximum value of the data collected for each display pixel.
Recommended for pure sine waves or narrow bandwidth signals. In
zero-span mode, this mode acts like a peak detector and can be used to
show AM band frequencies.
- Peak Detection
Returns the minimum value of the data collected for each display pixel.
Recommended for displaying the difference between CW and pulsed signals.
Sample Detection
Returns a sample of the data collected for each display pixel. Use this
method for noise-like signals.
Average Power
Returns the average of the data collected for each display pixel. Rec-
ommended for noise-reduction.
