button in the lower right side of the bench application (see also Application Settings).The Power Meter application offers multiple measurement display options for viewing measurements on the Display 1 or Display 2 tab. Up to four display views can be added per tab. The following display options are available:
To configure the display settings, such as measurement acquisition rate, display resolution, and measurement timeout, click the Application Settings button in the lower right side of the bench application (see also Application Settings).
Note: For the 2040/50/60 X-Series, the default Channel Setup mode is AVG only. The mode will automatically change to the Normal mode when the Trace View display mode is selected. Since the Normal mode provides a lower dynamic range, the measurable power range will also be reduced. To obtain a wider dynamic range for low-power measurements (less than -40 dBm), close the Trace View window and select the AVG only mode. A warning message will appear if you attempt to select the AVG only mode with a Trace View window open.
