Procedures for controlling external signal source
Follow the steps below to control an external signal source.
Step 1. Press -
Frequency Offset
to display the “Frequency Offset Menu.”
Step 2. Press
External Source
to display the “External Source Menu.”
Step 3. Press
Frequency Format
to turn it
ON
. The frequency setting of the external signal source
(LO) is displayed as shown in Figure 8-6.

Step 4. Press
Control
to turn the external signal source control
ON
, which allows you to send
setting values such as frequency to the external signal source and start the control. If the
external signal source control is turned
ON
, (Ctrl) will be displayed on the screen as shown
in Figure 8-7.

NOTE If the external signal source control fails, the GPIB setting may be wrong. See "Setting the
GPIB" on page 426.
3. Avoid Spurious Function
The E5070B/E5071B has the avoid spurious function (Figure 8-8). This function allows
you to implement measurement by avoiding the spurious signal generated from the
following signals:
• Stimulus signal and its harmonics
• Local signal within the receiver and its harmonics
• For an external signal source (if
LO Frequency
is turned
ON
), the set signal and its
harmonics
