Abstract

See full text

A test and measurement instrument having initial display center frequency and span settings and configured to process an input signal is disclosed. The test and measurement instrument includes a processor configured to digitize the input signal and locate a primary peak and determine a primary peak center frequency of the input signal. The processor is configured to adjust the initial display center frequency setting based on the primary peak center frequency. The processor is configured to perform a bandwidth comparison by comparing a bandwidth of the primary peak at a peak bandwidth test level to a peak bandwidth threshold. The processor is configured adjust the initial span setting based on the bandwidth comparison and generate a processed waveform signal using the adjusted display center frequency and span settings.
