Setting up N9061A on the X-Series Analyzer
Preferences
The Preferences menu allows you to configure some analyzer settings when in remote language
compatibility mode. Figure 1-4 shows the Preferences menu map that is accessed by selecting the
Mode
Setup
hardkey on the front panel and then selecting the Preferences softkey. Preferences are not
affected by a power cycle, a remote language change, a mode switching or a mode preset. They are only
preset to their default state using
Restore Mode Defaults key in the Mode Setup menu (see Figure 1-2),
INST:DEF or SYST:PRES:PERS command.

Limit RBW/VBW
Setting
Limit RBW/VBW to On limits the valid resolution bandwidth (RBW) and video bandwidth
(VBW) values to those appropriate for the currently selected remote language. While this limitation
reduces measurement flexibility, it helps to ensure that the measurement time in emulation mode is the
same as the legacy measurement time, and ensures that the responses to RB? and VB? match the legacy
instrument. The default state is
Off. Setting this key to Off causes the RBW and VBW filters to use the
X-Series analyzer range of values for all remote languages.
Atten Offset
Setting
Atten Offset to On allows larger input power to be applied to the analyzer, while significantly
increasing the noise floor. Since many of the older spectrum analyzers had noise floor 10 dB higher than
the X-Series analyzer, this gives the most accurate emulation. The default state is
Off.
