6-41 Table 6-1.—Description of Front Panel Controls, Indicators, and Connectors ITEM FUNCTION DESCRIPTION 1 INTENSITY This knob controls the brightness of the CRT trace and the CRT readout display. The focus is electronically adjusted. 2 READOUT This push button switches the readout display on and off. All spectrum analyzer parameters are displayed except TIME/DIV. The brightness for this display is proportional to the trace brightness and can be readjusted on internal controls only by a qualified technician. 3 GRATILLUM This push button switches the graticule light on and off. 4 BASELINE CLIP This push button, when activated, clips (subdues) the intensity at the baseline. 5 TRIGGERING This area allows one of four triggering modes to be selected by push buttons that illuminate when active. When any of these four are selected, the others are canceled. 5a FREE RUN When activated, the sweep is free-running without regard to trigger signals. 5b INT When activated, the sweep is triggered by any signal at the left edge of the display with an amplitude of 1.0 divisions of the graticule or more. 5c LINE When activated, a sample of the ac power line voltage is used to trigger the sweep. 5d EXT When selected, the sweep is triggered by an external signal (applied through the back panel IN HORZ/TRIG connector) between a minimum and maximum of 0.5 and 50 volt peak. 6 SINGLE SWEEP This push button, plus a ready indicator (No. 7), provides the single sweep operation. When this operation is selected, one sweep is initiated after the sweep circuit has been triggered. Pushing this button does not cancel the other trigger modes. When single sweep is first selected, the present sweep is aborted, but the sweep circuit is not yet armed. An additional push is required to initially arm the sweep. The button must be pushed again to rearm the sweep circuit each time the sweep has run. To cancel single sweep, you must select one of the four trigger mode selections. 7 READY When single sweep is selected, this indicator lights while the sweep circuit is armed and ready for a trigger signal. The indicator stays lit until the sweep is complete. 8 MANUAL SCAN When the TIME/DIV (No. 9c) selector is in the MNL position, this control will manually vary the CRT beam across the full horizontal axis of the display. 9 TIME/DIV Is used to select sweep rates from 5    VHF GLY WR       VHF GLY  7KLV VZLWFK DOVR selects AUTO, EXT, and MNL modes. 9a AUTO In this position, the sweep rate is selected by the microcomputer to maintain a calibrated display for any FREQ SPAN/DIV, RESOLUTION, and VIDEO FILTER combination. 9b EXT When selected, this control allows an external input source to be used with the sweep rates. 9c MNL When selected, this control is used in conjunction with No. 8 (see MANUAL SCAN, No. 8). 10 FREQUENCY This control is manually turned to allow you to tune to the center frequency. 11 FREQUENCY RANGE (band) These two push buttons are used to shift the center frequency up or down. Frequency range on the band is displayed on the CRT readout. 12 F This control is used for measuring the frequency difference between signals. When selected, the frequency readout goes to zero. It will then read out the deviation from this reference to the next frequency desired as the FREQUENCY knob is adjusted.
