7.0 The main menu<br />

SPECTRAN as an “EVENT RECORDER“ for recording intermittent signals:<br />

simply leave SPECTRAN running in HOLD mode until <strong>the</strong> event in question<br />

occurs.<br />

HOLD mode is also indispensible for conducting measurements according to <strong>the</strong><br />

panning approach (see also <strong>the</strong> chapter on “correct measurement“)<br />

Ano<strong>the</strong>r application where HOLD mode is extremely helpful is exposure limit<br />

calculation: You can use data acquired in HOLD mode for quick and easy comparison<br />

of exposure limits. You do not even need to start a new measurement,<br />

as all markers and o<strong>the</strong>r relevant information is also preserved. Simply switch to<br />

exposure limits mode after measurement, and <strong>the</strong> corresponding result is displayed<br />

immediately.<br />

A typical measurement result after evaluating a room for 20 minutes<br />

with HOLD mode active. You can instantly see that only two main signal<br />

sources / frequency bands have been detected during <strong>the</strong> entire<br />

measurement (30Hz and 50Hz).<br />

HINT: You can switch HOLD mode on and off at any time by pressing <strong>the</strong> dot<br />

key (switching it off deletes <strong>the</strong> HOLD memory).<br />

ATTENTION: <strong>Please</strong> note that when <strong>using</strong> <strong>the</strong> Reference Level “Auto“ setting in<br />

combination with HOLD mode, <strong>the</strong> spectrum display can quickly get “filled up“<br />

because of <strong>the</strong> automatic scaling. Thus, such a combination is generally only of<br />

limited use.<br />

7.15 Unit (Select physical unit)<br />

The Unit setting allows you to specify <strong>the</strong> physical unit used to display measurement<br />

results. Options are "Tesla", "Gauss" and "A/m". Two fur<strong>the</strong>r options,<br />

“Volt“ (external SMA connector) and “V/m“ (E-field sensor) are automatically<br />

chosen when <strong>the</strong> corresponding sensor is selected.<br />

Hint: In “EXPOSURE LIMITS“ mode, <strong>the</strong> measurement result additionally gets<br />

displayed as a figure and bargraph. Hence, you can display <strong>the</strong> result with two<br />

units AT ONCE (for example, Gauss and Tesla SIMULTANEOUSLY).<br />

Hint2: You can even use this feature for conversion of units. Simply “freeze“ <strong>the</strong><br />

current <strong>read</strong>ing <strong>using</strong> HOLD mode, <strong>the</strong>n choose a different unit. The conversion<br />

result will be displayed instantly (as far as physically sensible).<br />
