If enabled, the R&S
FSV/A allows you to configure and connect an external frontend.
The application adapts the available measurement settings to the connected frontend,
for example the available frequency range, reference level and attenuation. If no fron-
tend is configured yet, the configuration settings become available. The channel bar
indicates "Inp: ExtFe".
If disabled, the frontend is disconnected. The application adapts the measurement set-
tings to the common settings supported by the R&S
FSV/A.
