This command allows you to set the spectrum monitors actual reference level in dBm. The range settings are coupled to the amplitude offset value for the current value of the expected frequency (set using SYSTem:CORRection:[:SGAin] ). Changing the amplitude offset value does not change the reference value, unless the new value for the amplitude offset forces the current value of the reference level to exceed the range limits. If this happens the reference level is set to its limit. |

This command sets/queries the Spectrum Monitor Resolution Bandwidth Coupling State. When the state of this parameter is ON the Resolution Bandwidth is determined by the Frequency Span setting ( SETup:SMONitor:FREQuency:SPAN ). When this parameter is set to OFF the Frequency Span and the Resolution Bandwidth parameters are decoupled and can be set separately to any valid Frequency Span and Resolution Bandwidth. See Resolution Bandwidth and Frequency Span for the complete list of valid settings for Frequency Span and Resolution Bandwidth. The command to set the Frequency Span is SETup:SMONitor:FREQuency:SPAN The command to set the resolution bandwidth is SETup:SMONitor:BANDwidth|BWIDth:MANual . |

*RST Setting | 1 |
OUTPUT 714;"SETup:SMONitor:BAND:AUTO 0" !Turns Spectrum Monitor Resolution Bandwidth Coupling parameter OFF. |
This command sets/queries the value of the resolution bandwidth when SETup:SMONitor:BANDwidth|BWIDth:AUTO is set to OFF. When SETup:SMONitor:BANDwidth|BWIDth:AUTO is set to ON, the resolution bandwidth is determined by the Frequency Span setting ( SETup:SMONitor:FREQuency:SPAN ) and can be queried using the SETup:SMONitor:BANDwidth|BWIDth[:RESolution]? command. When using this command the values in the Frequency Span and Resolution Bandwidth columns of Resolution Bandwidth and Frequency Span are no longer coupled. Therefore, the Frequency Span and the Resolution Bandwidth parameters can be set to any value in the Frequency Span and Resolution Bandwidth columns, respectively. This command also sets the Spectrum Monitor Reference Level Coupling State to OFF (see SETup:SMONitor:AMPLitude:RLEVel:AUTO ). The units (HZ|KHZ|MHZ) are optional, if no units are specified then the default is HZ. |

Range: A value in the range 300 Hz to 5 MHz can be entered, however the value is rounded to a valid entry. The decision point for rounding up or down is the halfway point between the first valid entry below the setting and the first valid entry above the setting. The valid entries include: 300 Hz, 1 kHz, 3 kHz, 10 kHz, 30 kHz, 100 kHz, 300 kHz, 1 MHz, 5 MHz. |

300 Hz, 1 kHz, 3 kHz, 10 kHz, 30 kHz, 100 kHz, 300 kHz, 1 MHz, 5 MHz. |
|
*RST Setting | 30 kHz |
OUTPUT 714;"SETup:SMONitor:BANDwidth:MANual 600 khz" !Sets the Resolution Bandwidth to 300 kHz because the first valid entry below the setting is 300 kHz !and the first valid entry above the setting is 1 MHz. The middle point between the two valid values is !650 kHz and since 600 kHz is below 650 kHz, the test set rounds 600 kHz to 300 kHz. |
This command sets/queries the resolution bandwidth when the spectrum monitor is operating in zero span mode. To change the spectrum monitor to zero span mode, use the command SETup:SMONitor:FREQuency:SPAN , to set the frequency span to 0 Hz. To measure the total power of a signal you must select a resolution bandwidth greater than or equal to the signal bandwidth. To resolve two spectral components the resolution bandwidth must be less than the difference between them. The units (HZ|KHZ|MHZ) are optional, if no units are specified then the default is HZ. Any setting you enter is rounded to the nearest of the three settings. |

This command sets/queries the Spectrum Monitor Detection Method. There are three detection methods available in the test set's Spectrum Monitor: Peak Detection, Sample Detection, and RMS Detection. See Detection Method for more information. | |

This command sets/queries the time offset. You can specify the time window for viewing the signal using this command and the SETup:SMONitor:TIME:SPAN . The measurement is made for the duration of the time span, beginning at the time defined by the trigger event plus the trigger delay plus the time offset. The units (S|MS|US|NS) are optional, if no units are specified then the default is S. | |
