SPAN X Scale

Note that if you are in External Mixing, the maximum Span will be equal to the Maximum Stop
Frequency – Minimum Start Frequency for the currently selected mixer.

Zone Span

Allows the span of the zone markers to be changed without changing the center frequency. The
zone markers are vertical lines marking the zone in the upper window. They determine the
frequency range displayed in the lower window. As the zone markers are moved, the span of the
lower window is changed but the lower window will not be updated to reflect the change unless it
is selected as the active window.

The span limit of the lower window is the same as the span limit of the analyzer. The span for the
lower window is not limited to the selected span of the upper window. However, if the frequency
span of the lower window is at all outside of the span for the upper window, an orange arrow
pointing left or right will be displayed at the left or right edge of the top window.

Notes

Min and Max values depend on the Hardware Options (5xx)

Dependencies

Only appears in the Zone Span View of the Swept SA measurement.  If the SCPI command is
sent in other Views, gives an error

Couplings

Span of lower window changes so that it is always the same as Zone Span, and vice-versa

Preset

On entry to the Zone Span View, the Zone Span is 10% of the span of the upper window.  So if
you do a Mode Preset and then immediately go into Zone Span, the Zone Span is 10% of the
Span Preset value listed in the table under the Span key description.
