The complete description of the functionality and its usage is given in the
R&S
SMCV100B user manual. Basic instrument operation is described in Chap-
ter 8, "Instrument control" , on page 64.
Prerequisites

For the first signal generation tasks, you use the internal baseband and reference
signal, so you do not need any additional signal source. More complex signal
generation tasks, however, require an instrument equipped with additional options
and/or external signals. Each task description lists its prerequisites.
The screenshots in this description show a fully equipped instrument. Con-
sider that, the block diagram displayed on your particular instrument can dif-
fer from the one used in the example.
