Setting your Scan Mode

---

The selected Scan Mode provides three different methods of specifying the channels you wish to look at. These are Range Mode, Auto Mode, and List Mode:
Range Mode: All channels between the Start and Stop Freq/Channel are displayed. The channels are separated by the Freq/Channel Step value. Metrics are only computed for the single channel indicated by the vertical yellow line, which can be adjusted by using the [Display], [Position] menu keys. For further details, see "Setting the Display Position"

• If the channel you specified using the [Position] menu key can not be demodulated, you will see the message "No valid Slot Sync found" displayed on the graphic portion of the screen for all three views, and the numeric metrics at the bottom of the screen will be dashed out. In the Power versus Time view, the PvT Mask will not be shown even if you have switched it on.

Auto Mode: All channels between the Start and Stop Freq/Channel are examined, but only the channels with the highest power are measured.
