Generated signal input
In order to use the functions of the external generator, an appropriate generator must
be connected and configured correctly. In particular, the generator output must be con-
nected to the RF input of the R&S
FSMR3.
External reference frequency
In order to enhance measurement accuracy, a common reference frequency should be
used for both the R&S
FSMR3 and the generator. If no independent 10
MHz reference
frequency is available, it is recommended that you connect the reference output of the
generator with the reference input of the R&S
FSMR3 and that you enable usage of
the external reference on the R&S
FSMR3 via "SETUP" > "Reference" > "External Ref-
erence".
Connection errors
If no external generator is connected, if the connection address is not correct, or the
generator is not ready for operation, an error message is displayed (e.g."Ext. Genera-
tor TCPIP Handshake Error!", see
"Displayed Information and Errors"
