Source RF Internal (On/ Off)
Switches the selected tracking generator on or off. Default setting is off. The currently
selected generator is indicated on the softkey.
Remote command:
Activates the internal tracking generator (B9).
SOURce<n>:EXTernal<generator>[:STATe]
Activates the external tracking generator 1 (B10).
Source Power
Opens an edit dialog box to quickly change the output power of the currently selected
tracking generator, alternatively to the "Tracking Generator configuration" dialog box
(see
The default output power is -20 dBm. The range is specified in the data sheet.
Remote command:
SOURce<n>:POWer[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]
Source Cal
Opens a submenu to configure calibration for transmission and reflection measurement
for tracking generators. For details on the test setups see
for transmission and reflection measurement"
Calibrate Transmission ← Source Cal
Starts a sweep that records a reference trace. This trace is used to calculate the differ-
ence for the normalized values.
Remote command:
Selects the transmission method and starts the sweep to record a reference trace.
Calibrate Reflection Short ← Source Cal
Starts a sweep as a reference trace for short-circuit calibration.
If both calibrations (open circuit, short circuit) are carried out, the calibration curve is
calculated by averaging the two measurements and stored in the memory. The order of
the two calibration measurements is irrelevant.
Remote command:
Selects the reflection method.
[SENSe:]CORRection:COLLect[:ACQuire]
Starts the sweep for short-circuit calibration.
Calibrate Reflection Open ← Source Cal
Starts a sweep as a reference trace for the open-circuit calibration.
