To fully understand Ingress Resistance measurement mode results, you should be familiar with the Ingress Resistance graph and the viewing options available in the Ingress Resistance mode.

Arrow Keys

You can use the left and right arrows to move the marker. With each non-continuous key press, the marker increments or decrements to the next or previous frequency point in the span. Use the up and down arrows to adjust the graph for best viewing of the signal level measurements. NOTE: Each arrow key press changes the reference setting by one (1) dB. The reference level range is -100 to +60 dBmV.

Softkeys

Two softkeys on the INGRESS RESISTANCE screen provide the following options:

FILE

Save a completed test. You also can open an existing Ingress Resistance measurement file to compare previously collected data. Use the arrow keys to choose the menu item you prefer and press ENTER to make your selection.

VIEW


Select Auto Reference to automatically view measurement results in the best reference setting on the graph (Keystroke shortcut: SHIFT 9). NOTE: For best reference setting results you may have to select the Auto Reference button more than once (up to three times).

Select 5 dB/div or 10 dB/div to adjust the vertical resolution of the graph for the best viewing.

Select (or deselect) Peak Hold to turn on and off the Peak Hold function, which persists the highest level trace at each frequency for improved noise isolation.

Select (or deselect) Reset to manually reset the Peak Hold function.

Select Pause to suspend measurement updates (Keystroke shortcut: SHIFT 8).

Use the arrow keys to select Marker A or Marker B as the active marker, then press ENTER. Use the Left and Right Arrows to move the marker.
