General information

Option 66 provides for a real-time analog representation of the detected output of the analyzer. This output is available when either the DPX spectrum or DPX zero span function is used in spans up to the maximum acquisition bandwidth. The bandwidth of the analog output is adjustable using the resolution bandwidth control of the DPX spectrum analyzer, or can be made independent of the spectrum analyzer. The output is "OFF" when the instrument is in swept spectrum analyzer mode, as it does not correspond to the output of the swept output
