The manual provides detailed instructions on the setup, operation, and troubleshooting of spectrum analyzers, including new firmware features such as trace averaging methods, extended functionalities for external mixers, and additional operating modes for GSM and EDGE tests. It also includes information on trace export in vector analyzer mode and additional IEEE/IEC-bus commands, ensuring users can effectively utilize the updated capabilities of their devices.
Manual Overview
The manual supplement for the Spectrum Analyzer models FSEA20/30, FSEB20/30, FSEM20/21/30/31, and FSEK20/21/30/31 details enhancements in firmware versions 3.30 and higher, and 4.30 and higher for Windows NT controllers. Key updates include the selection of trace averaging methods, with options for linear and logarithmic averaging, which are crucial for noise suppression in sinewave signals. The external mixer option FSE-B21 now supports a harmonic number range up to 62. New application firmware, FSE-K20/21, enables EDGE Mobile and Base Station Tests, while extensions FSE-K30/31 introduce 850 MHz GSM band measurements. The vector analyzer mode, enhanced by option FSE-B7, now includes EDGE measurement with a receiver filter, adhering to ETSI standards. Additionally, the manual introduces ASCII export functionality for trace data in vector analyzer mode, facilitating data handling in spreadsheet programs. The %THD measurement feature is also highlighted, providing a percentage display of total harmonic distortion for the main modulation signal.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnose trace averaging issues with MODE AVERAGE LIN/LOG softkey.
- Resolve external mixer errors with FSE-B21 harmonic number settings.
- Use schematics for circuit tracing in vector analyzer mode.
