9 Performing Configuration Tasks
This section provides a general explanation on how to operate the instrument manually
via the R&S SGMA-GUI software.
We assume, that the R&S
SGT is connected to a remote PC. The R&S SGMA-GUI
software has to be installed on this remote PC and the instrument has to be added to
the list of "Available Instruments".
For information on how to fulfill these requirements, refer to:
●
Chapter 2.3.2.1, "Connecting the Instrument to the Network"
●
Chapter 2.3.1, "Installing the R&S SGMA-GUI Software on an External PC"
●
Chapter 2.3.2.3, "Automatically Adding Instruments to the SGMA-GUI "
9.1 How to Configure the Reference Oscillator Source
To use the internal reference frequency source
1. To enable the instrument to use its internal reference frequency source, perform
one of the following:
a) Select "SGMA-GUI main panel > Ext Ref Off ".
b) Select "SGMA-GUI > Instrument Name > RF > Reference Oscillator > Source >
Int".
2. In the "Reference Oscillator" dialog, set the "REF/LO Out > REF".
The "Output Frequency" can be configured to either 10 MHz or 1 GHz.
The instrument uses the internal reference signal. The REF EXT LED at the front
panel of the instrument is off.
To output the reference frequency (internal or external) at the REF/LO OUT connector
of the instrument, select "Reference Oscillator > REF/LO Output > REF".
To use an external reference frequency source
To improve measurement accuracy, it is advisable to provide an external reference fre-
quency to all the instruments in the test setup or to distribute the internal reference sig-
nal of the signal generator to the remaining instruments.
1. Provide the signal of an external reference frequency source to the REF/LO IN
connector of the instrument.
