| The best-seller model MSA300 series was extremely upgraded to MSA400 series as shown in |
| "Comparison between MSA300 and MSA400 series" table. However, the weight and dimensions |
| are almost same, and the price was suppressed as low as possible. |
| ① |
Compact and lightweight 1.8kg |
|
The dimensions are as small as 162(W)×71(H)×265(D)mm, and the weight is only 1.8kg including the battery.
It is very convenient for outdoor use and on business trip. |
|
|
| ② |
Large and color TFT display |
|
5.7 inches, 640×480 dots and color LCD |
|
|
| ③ |
Four hours battery operation |
|
Lithium-ion battery enables about four-hour battery operation. |
|
|
| ④ |
USB memory |
|
USB memory can be used as a removable storage. The screen image is stored by BMP format,
and the spectrum and the setting parameters are stored by CSV format. |
|
|
| ⑤ |
USB communication |
|
Such fast transfer rate as 12Mbps maximum was achieved by adoption of USB interface. |
|
|
| ⑥ |
Accrate frequency measurement by PLL synthesizer |
|
The center frequency is accurately set by PLL (Phase Locked Loop) synthesizer.
Moreover, the frequency counter (factory option) enables to measure the frequency of the signal more accurately. |
|
|
| ⑦ |
Average noise level -127dBm |
|
The low average noise level of -127dBm @1GHz provides a wide dynamic range. |
|
|
| ⑧ |
100dB display dynamic range |
|
As the display scale in the amplitude axis is 100dB/10div, the signal is observed in a wide dynamic range. |
|
|
| ⑨ |
Easy operation by AUTO mode |
|
| ・ |
Auto range operation |
: |
RBW, VBW and sweep time are automatically selected based on the frequency span. |
|
|
| ・ |
Auto tuning operation |
: |
The center frequency is adjusted to the maximum level within full span, and the
optimum RBW, VBW and sweep time are chosen. |
|
|
|
| ⑩ |
Competitive functions |
|
| ・ |
Measuring functions |
: |
Channel power, Adjacent channel power, Occupied bandwidth, Electric field strength,
Magnetic field strength and Frequency measurement. |
|
|
| ・ |
Calculation functions |
: |
Max hold, Min hold, Averaging, Over write |
|
|
| ・ |
Marker measurement and peak search function |
|
