| − | During [[emission]] measurements most of the [[Spectrum Analyzer]] settings have an 'Auto' and a 'Coupled' value.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * The 'auto' function is selecting the 'Auto' function inside the receiver itself
| |
| − | * The 'coupled' function is selecting the 'Auto' function inside the receiver itself
| |
| − | Yes indeed, these options are doing the same thing!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We finally plan to implement a difference between the 'Auto' and 'Coupled' functions, where 'Coupled' is the 'Auto' functionality of the receiver. The 'Auto' function would then be 'The best value determined by the RadiMation software'.
| |
| − | However this 'Auto' functionality is not implemented yet.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Until the 'Auto' function is implemented, it is better to remove the 'Auto' function from the list of possibilities. We already created a wish for this in the past: '#1316: Emission measurements: Auto => coupled'.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Until the 'Auto' function is removed from the list of options, it doesn't matter which option is selected, because they both will select the 'Auto' function of the receiver.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Attenuator ==
| |
| − | The 'Auto (0 dB)' option for the attenuator is setting the [[Attenuation]] to 'auto' mode, allowing that 0 dB is a valid attenuation setting. The [[input attenuation protection]] of most receivers is then disabled.
| |
| − | The 'Auto (10 dB)' option of the attenuator is setting the attenuation to 'auto' mode, but the 0 dB attenuation setting is then not allowed. The minimum attenuation
| |
| − | in this situation is thus 10 dB.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Reference level ==
| |
| − | It is strongly advised to not set the '[[Reference Level]]' to 'Auto' because this will very often result in a reference level of 0 dB, which results in a lot of other problems, like the measured value being clipped to 0 dBuV.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It is better to always set the reference level to a 'fixed' value of for example 70,80,90 or 100 dBuV.
