Detector Detector
Detector
This setting selects the type of detector used when measuring and
displaying AF signal levels.
Detector Types
• RMS displays the root mean square (rms) value of signals.
• RMS*SQRT2 displays the rms value of a signal multiplied by .
• Pk+ displays the positive peak value.
• Pk− displays the negative peak value.
• Pk±/2 adds the positive and negative peak values, and divides the
sum by 2.
• Pk±Max compares the positive and negative peaks and displays the
greater value (polarity is not indicated).
• Pk+ Hold displays and holds the positive peak value until the
measurement is reset. To reset, use
Meas Reset (press and release the
Shift key, then the Hold key), select a different detector, or re-select the
same detector.
• Pk− Hold displays and holds the negative peak value until the
measurement is reset. To reset, use
Meas Reset (press and release the
Shift key, then the Hold key), select a different detector, or re-select the
same detector.
• Pk±/2 Hold divides the sum of the positive and negative peak
values by 2, and displays the value until the measurement is reset.
To reset, use
Meas Reset (press and release the Shift key, then the Hold
key), select a different detector, or re-select the same detector.
• Pk±Mx Hold compares the positive and negative peaks and displays
the greater value until the measurement is reset. To reset, use
Meas
Reset
(press and release the Shift key, then the Hold key), select a
different detector, or re-select the same detector.
