Easy to operate
The operator activates the polychrome spectrum display
by simply pressing a button. All features of the normal
spectrum display (such as markers, level measurement)
are available. The settings for the R&S®PR100-PC option
are easy and intuitive as well as flexible and powerful
enough to optimize the polychrome spectrum display for a
wide range of signals.
