Set the Measurement Scale Limits
You can manually set the minimum and maximum values on the Y
(vertical) scale or you can choose Auto Scale and let the instrument
select values that will display the entire trace. You cannot enter val-

are unsure of the expected results, set the minimum to –60 dB and
maximum to 0 dB or choose Auto Scale. Auto Scale is available on the
main screen as well as on the mode configure screens. The table below
lists typical worst case values for selected measurements.
