Programming Example OUTPUT 714;"SETup:SMONitor:AMPLitude:PDIVision 1DB" ! Sets scale of the spectrum monitor's display to 1 dB per division.

SETup:SMONitor:AMPLitude:RLEVel:AUTO

Function	GSM TA	This command allows you to set whether or not the spectrum monitor's reference level is selected automatically by the test set. This parameter must be set to OFF before the test set uses the manual setting for the reference level. The command to manually set the reference level is SETup:SMONitor:AMPLitude:RLEVel:MANual .

Programming Example OUTPUT 714;"SETup:SMONitor:AMPLitude:RLEVel:AUTO ON" ! Sets spectrum monitor's reference level to set automatically.

SETup:SMONitor:AMPLitude:RLEVel:MANual

Function	GSM TA	This command allows you to set the spectrum monitors actual reference level in dBm. The range settings are coupled to the amplitude offset value for the current value of the expected frequency (set using SYSTem:CORRection:[:SGAin] ). Changing the amplitude offset value does not change the reference value, unless the new value for the amplitude offset forces the current value of the reference level to exceed the range limits. If this happens the reference level is set to its limit. The test set does not apply the manual setting until the command SETup:SMONitor:AMPLitude:RLEVel:AUTO is set to OFF.

Programming Example OUTPUT 714;"SETup:SMONitor:AMPLitude:RLEVel:MANual -20DBM" ! Sets spectrum monitor's manual reference level setting to -20 dBm.

SETup:SMONitor:BANDwidth|BWIDth[:RESolution]?

Function	GSM TA	This command queries the resolution bandwidth being used by the spectrum monitor measurement. This command returns the resolution bandwidth regardless of whether the bandwidth was set manually or automatically. The command that configures the test set to automatically determine the resolution bandwidth based on the Frequency Span setting is SETup:SMONitor:BANDwidth\|BWIDth:AUTO . When the resolution bandwidth is not set to Auto, you can manually configure the resolution bandwidth with the command SETup:SMONitor:BANDwidth\|BWIDth:MANual .

Programming Example OUTPUT 714;"SETup:SMONitor:BANDwidth?" ! Returns the spectrum monitor's resolution bandwidth.

SETup:SMONitor:BANDwidth|BWIDth:AUTO

Function	GSM TA	This command sets/queries the Spectrum Monitor Resolution Bandwidth Coupling State. When the state of this parameter is ON the Resolution Bandwidth is determined by the Frequency Span setting ( SETup:SMONitor:FREQuency:SPAN ). When this parameter is set to OFF the Frequency Span and the Resolution Bandwidth parameters are decoupled and can be set separately to any valid Frequency Span and Resolution Bandwidth. See Table 1: Frequency Span, Resolution Bandwidth and Dynamic Range for the complete list of valid settings for Frequency Span and Resolution Bandwidth. The command to set the resolution bandwidth is SETup:SMONitor:BANDwidth\|BWIDth:MANual .

Programming Example OUTPUT 714;"SETup:SMONitor:BAND:AUTO 0" ! Turns Spectrum Monitor Resolution Bandwidth Coupling parameter OFF.

SETup:SMONitor:BANDwidth|BWIDth:MANual

Function	GSM TA	This command sets/queries the value of the resolution bandwidth when SETup:SMONitor:BANDwidth\|BWIDth:AUTO is set to OFF. When the state of this parameter is ON the Resolution Bandwidth is determined by the Frequency Span setting ( SETup:SMONitor:FREQuency:SPAN ). When using this command the values in the Frequency Span and Resolution Bandwidth columns of Table 1: Frequency Span, Resolution Bandwidth and Dynamic Range are no longer coupled. Therefore, the Frequency Span and the Resolution Bandwidth parameters can be set to any value in the Frequency Span and Resolution Bandwidth columns, respectively. The units (HZ\|KHZ\|MHZ) are optional, if no units are specified then the default is HZ. Another command to query the resolution bandwidth is SETup:SMONitor:BANDwidth\|BWIDth[:RESolution]? .

Setting		Range: A value in the range 300 Hz to 5 MHz can be entered, however the value is rounded to a valid entry. The decision point for rounding up or down is the halfway point between the first valid entry below the setting and the first valid entry above the setting. The valid entries include: Resolution Bandwidth: 300 Hz, 1 kHz, 3 kHz, 10 kHz, 30 kHz, 100 kHz, 300 kHz, 1 MHz, 5 MHz.
Query		300 Hz, 1 kHz, 3 kHz, 10 kHz, 30 kHz, 100 kHz, 300 kHz, 1 MHz, 5 MHz.
*RST Setting		30 kHz
Requirements	GSM/GPRS/ EGPRS TA	Revision: A.05 and above
	GSM/GPRS/ EGPRS LA	Revision: D.02 and above
Programming Example OUTPUT 714;"SETup:SMONitor:BANDwidth:MANual 600 khz" ! Sets the Resolution Bandwidth to 300 kHz because the first valid entry below the setting is ! 300 kHz and the first valid entry above the setting is 1 MHz. The middle point between the two ! valid values is !650 kHz and since 600 kHz is below 650 kHz, the test set rounds 600 kHz to 300 kHz.

SETup:SMONitor:BANDwidth|BWIDth:ZSPan[:RESolution]

Function	GSM TA	This command sets/queries the resolution bandwidth when the spectrum monitor is operating in zero span mode. To measure the total power of a signal you must select a resolution bandwidth greater than or equal to the signal bandwidth. To resolve two spectral components the resolution bandwidth must be less than the difference between them. The units (HZ\|KHZ\|MHZ) are optional, if no units are specified then the default is HZ. To change the spectrum monitor to zero span mode, us the command SETup:SMONitor:FREQuency:SPAN , to set the frequency span to 0 Hz. Any setting you enter is rounded to the nearest of the three settings.
