• When the tracking generator is switched on the maximum stop frequency is
limited to 3 GHz. This upper limit is automatically reduced by a frequency offset
set up for the tracking generator.
•
• In order to meet the data sheet accuracy for measurements with active tracing
generator the start frequency must be set to
≥
3 × Resolution Bandwidth.
• The minimum sweeptime for measurements with data sheet accuracy is 100 ms
in frequency domain (span > 0 Hz). Selecting a sweeptime below this limit will
result in the sweeptime indicator field SWT being supplied with a red asterisk
and the message UNCAL being displayed.
• FFT filters ( FILTER TYPE FFT in BW menu) are not available when the tracking
generator is active.
