DATA HOLD
[GRPIX]

This selects how the graph is displayed on the screen. Select from
NORMAL, Min&Max, Min, or Max.

NOTE

If either Min&Max, Min, or Max is selected, the display will
keep the “old” data and may appear stationary. The DATA
HOLD mode in use is displayed on the left of the screen,
below the middle value of the y axis.

With Min & Max selected, the minimum and maximum points for
each sample are shown. If Connect Points is ON (default)
(

SYSTEM|Graphics|CONNECT), a vertical bar is drawn between

these points. See CLEAR, under CONTROL to restart the process.

Min displays only the minimum for this sample position until reset
by returning to NORMAL.

Max displays only the maximum for this sample position until reset
by returning to NORMAL.

Power vs. Time

This soft key becomes available when the

System|Setup|MODE is set to Power

vs. Time mode. Power vs. Time mode displays measurements in a chart-like for-
mat showing history over a period of time. The measurements displayed are
taken under the conditions of the Readout mode, and can therefore include all
triggering and correction settings set up in that mode.

Power vs. Time operation mode includes the following display control:

CHANNEL
[GRMD]

Select Channel 1 or Channel 2. The channel selected will be dis-
played on the left of the screen, above the middle value of the y
axis.

DATA HOLD
[GRPIX]

Selects how the graph is displayed on the screen. Select from
NORMAL, AVG, Min&Max, Min, or Max.

TIME
[GRDDT]

Sets the data hold time, from 1 minute to 24 hours.

Source sweep

This soft key becomes available when the

System|Setup|MODE is set to Source

Sweep. The Source Sweep mode provides interconnection between a signal
source/generator and the power meter. Using simple techniques, this can provide
swept power-accurate measurements over any frequency range at very high
speed. The sweep data is available over GPIB and can provide a simple low cost
scalar analyzer function.
