Using Functions
Setting Frequency and Power Levels

Setting Frequency and Power Levels

Using these procedures, you will learn how to:

•

set the RF frequency

•

set a frequency reference and a frequency offset

•

set the RF output power level

•

set an amplitude reference and an amplitude offset

To Set the RF Frequency

1. Turn power on to the signal generator: press the power switch, 

, so that the green 

LED is on. The signal generator will perform an internal check.

2. Press the green 

Preset

 key. The signal generator will return to a set of factory-defined 

conditions.

NOTE:

You can change the preset conditions to a user-defined instrument state. However, for the
purpose of these examples, use the factory-defined preset state (the 

Preset Normal User

softkey in the 

Utility

 menu must be set to 

Normal

).

3. Observe the frequency area of the display (in the upper left-hand corner). It should 

display the maximum specified frequency of your signal generator.

4. The signal generator is set to output an RF signal, however the 

RF On/Off

 key must be 

set to 

On

 before the RF signal is available at the RF OUTPUT connector. Press 

RF On/Off

. Notice that the display annunciator changes from 

RF OFF

 to 

RF ON

. The 

maximum specified frequency is now being output at the RF OUTPUT connector.

5. Change the frequency to 700 MHz by pressing 

Frequency

. The current RF frequency 

is now displayed in the active entry area of the display. Using the numeric keypad, enter 

700

 and then press the 

MHz

 terminator softkey. The new 700 MHz RF frequency is now 

displayed in the frequency area of the display and also in the active entry area.

6. Frequency is still the active function until you press another front panel function key. 

Change the frequency again by pressing the up arrow key once. Each press of the up 
arrow key increases the frequency by the value set for the 

Incr Set

 key. The increment 

value is displayed in the active entry area.

The down arrow works like the up arrow. Practice stepping the frequency up and down 
in 1 MHz increments. Use the 

Incr Set

 key to change the increment value to 1 MHz, if 

necessary.
