l Resolving signals of equal amplitude using the resolution bandwidth
function.
l Resolving small signals hidden by large signals using the resolution
bandwidth function.
l Increasing the frequency readout resolution using the marker counter.
l Decreasing the frequency span using the marker track function.
l Tracking unstable signals using marker track and the maximum hold and
minimum hold functions.
l Comparing signals using delta markers.
l Measuring low-level signals using attenuation, video bandwidth, and video
averaging.
l Identifying distortion products using the RF attenuator and traces.
l Using the spectrum analyzer as a receiver in zero frequency span.
