Hi



Can someone explain what does the term, for example, 'in 1-2-5 setps' mean. In relation to Spectrum Analyser Frequency Scanwidth.


Kind Regards Delllap Yorkshire, UK www.darte.co.uk Life is what you make of it, so go do it.

It refers to the adjustment steps you will proceed thru as you adjust the scanwidth. For example, if your scan width was set to 1MHz, the settings that you would run thru as you advance the control (turn the knob) would be 2MHz, 5MHz, then 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, etc. Basically 3 settings per decade of frequency.
