5.1.3 Control of an R&S SGU from a Compatible R&S Signal Generator
If an R&S SGU is connected to a compatible R&S Signal Generator (e.g. R&S SGS ), it
extends its frequency range. In this setup, a controller does not need to access the
R&S SGU directly. Instead, the compatible R&S Signal Generator acts as a controller
to the R&S SGU. The generator performs all required settings automatically depending
on the required output signal parameters.
The Figure 5-3 shows a configuration example of the R&S SGU, directly controlled by
an R&S SGS. For a detailed description of the connecting possibilities, refer to Chap-
ter 5.2, "Setups for Connecting an R&S SGS and an R&S SGU" , on page 41.

5.2 Setups for Connecting an R&S SGS and an R&S SGU
If an R&S SGU is connected to an R&S SGS, the R&S SGU acts as an extension to
the R&S SGS extending its frequency range. In this setup, a controller does not need
to access the R&S SGU directly. Instead, the R&S SGS acts as a controller to the R&S
