SUBTITLE BAR ABOVE GRAPH
The reference filename, test point compensation icon/value, and the tilt compensation value appear on the subtitle bar above the graph. NOTE: If there is not a current reference file, then the entry reads “NONE”.

When a sweep limit value is entered a pass/fail indicator also appears on the far left side of the subtile bar above the graph.

TRACE VIEW AREA

As multiple sweeps occur, the trace will change only if new sweep levels are different from the levels of the previous trace. If Sweep Limit is turned ON, a pair of horizontal markers is displayed on the screen to indicate the limit boundaries based on the limit value entered. These appear only when sweep limit value is ON within Sweep Settings in the DSAM Configuration mode.

Error dialog pops up automatically if the sweep telemetry level is too low.

SUBTITLE BAR BELOW GRAPH

This area consists of the start and stop frequency (as provided by the sweep plan transmitted from the headend transceiver) and the forward sweep telemetry level. The forward sweep telemetry level can be converted to dBmV, dBm etc from the configuration settings of the DSAM. If zoom is active, a zoom icon is also displayed.

MARKER STATUS AREA

The Sweepless Sweep measurement mode also contains an area referred to as the Marker Status area (below lower subtitle bar). This area consists of the marker name (A or B), marker frequency (in MHz), and measured signal level for the frequencies which the markers are on. The black square around the letter A or B below the trace graph shows the active marker. The delta value (in dB) between the markers is also displayed. Next to the marker status the sweep maximum-minimum dB level is displayed.
