Interface
Type of interface connection used. The following interfaces are currently supported:
●
TCP/IP
●
GPIB
For details on interfaces see
Remote command:
SYSTem:COMMunicate:RDEVice:GENerator<generator>:INTerface
TTL Synchronization
If available for the specified generator type, this option activates TTL synchronization
for GPIB connections.

Chapter 8.2, "Connecting External Tracking Generators"
For Noise Figure measurements (K30) this setting currently has no effect.
Remote command:
SYSTem:COMMunicate:RDEVice:GENerator<generator>:LINK
Address
For LAN connections: TCP/IP address.
For GPIB connections: GPIB address.
Remote command:
SYSTem:COMMunicate:RDEVice:GENerator<generator>:LINK
Reference
Selects internal or external reference for the generator (default: internal).
Note:
Using the TTL interface allows for considerably higher measurement rates than
pure GPIB control, because the frequency stepping of the R&S
ESRP is directly cou-
pled with the frequency stepping of the generator.
Remote command:
SOURce<n>:EXTernal<generator>:ROSCillator[:SOURce]
Edit Generator Setup File
Displays the setup file for the currently selected generator (see
mode in an editor.
Adding new generator types
Although the existing setup files are displayed in read-only mode in the editor, they can
be saved under a different name (using "File > SaveAs"). To add a new generator type
to the selection list in the
field, edit the setup file for an existing generator as
required, then save the file with the extension ".gen" (select "Save as type: All Files
(*.*)"). After you close the configuration dialog and re-open it, a new generator is avail-
able in the
list with the name of the saved setup file.
Be careful, however, to adhere to the required syntax and commands. Errors will only
be detected and displayed when you try to use the new generator (see also
