Big On Performance
The PSA1303 is a lightweight and truly handheld instrument that incorporates an extensive feature set. Its ruggedized casing with a removable sun screen/screen protector enhances use while in the field. The 4.3 inch TFT with 3 row hierarchical menu system provides rapid access to all features. Additional Hard keys are provided for marker movement and short cuts to major functions. On time is almost instant with the first sweep available in under 2 seconds.

Ease of use was a major consideration in the design of the PSA Series 3. The menu system provides rapid access to menu groups, each of which has sub menus, each with their own function keys. Function keys perform direct actions or create pop-up menus or dialogue boxes. Frequencies can be set by direct numeric entry, or by a digit increment system.Centre, Start and Stop can be stepped by any chosen increment. Span can be zoomed. Single key shortcuts include Set to Peak, Set to Marker and Set between Markers (Start=M1, Stop=M2).

Additional Highlights:

• A view trace and reference trace can be displayed in addition to the live trace
• Dual markers provide an on-screen readout of frequency and level including difference values.
• Vertical resolution of 10dB per division can be expanded to 5dB, 2dB or 1dB
• Trace can be set to display Peak-hold, or a Multi-sweep Average
• Zero span mode with both AM or FM audio demodulation
• Store trace and state files, screen images, set-up file
• Logging files, limit patterns and compensation tables are only available with purchase of Option U01
• Trace files have a standard comma separated value (.csv) format which can be imported into other applications such as Excel or MathCad.

In addition to the extensive on-screen status information, a single button press reveals the complete set-up of the instrument as a screen listing. All settings are retained at power-down, and any number of setup files can be stored under automatic or user names.
