Note
The settings for sensitivity, video bandwidth and sweep time interact. If the sensitivity is
set to manual, the video bandwidth and sweep time may be forced to Auto mode. If the
video bandwidth is set to manual, the sensitivity and sweep time may be forced to Auto.
If the sweep speed is set to manual and is set too fast, the
OVER SWEEP
indicator will
come on in the display area. Since these settings interact, it is recommended that only
one
of the settings be changed, whichever setting is most important to the measurement
task being performed.
