Time Domain (Zero Span)

In Time Domain, the amplitude of a single frequency is measured, rather than
sweeping a range of frequencies. The SignalHawk measures and displays the ampli-

tude of the frequency for a specified period (sweep time) and refreshes during the

next sweep. The Time Domain trace resembles the horizontal line display on an
oscilloscope.

Note:

The center frequency will be measured.

1.

Activate the measurement by doing one of the following:

Select Time Domain from the Spectrum Analyzer section of the Start
Menu.

Select Time Domain, in the Measurement Menu, then, in the Time
Domain submenu, press the Time Domain button (soft key 1) to turn
on the measurement.

Set the Frequency Span to 0 Hz. See “Freq & Span Menu” on page 58.

2.

Press the Sweep Time soft key and enter how long a single sweep should be
using one of these methods:

Note:

Time range can be set from 1 ms to 100 s.

Up/Down Arrows: Step increments of one second.

Right/Left Arrows: Step increments of one millisecond.

Thumbwheel: Step increments of one second per click.

Keypad: Enter the time in seconds.

Note:

There are a limited number of pixels, so longer sweep times

mean less detail in the display.

Note:

This enables the Video Trigger in the BW & Sweep menu. To use the

Video Trigger, see “Video BW” on page 63.
