6.2.4 Optional external generator control
If the R&S FSV/A optional External Generator Control is installed, you can operate var-
ious commercially available generators as an external generator with the R&S FSV/A.
Thus, scalar network analysis with the R&S FSV/A is possible.

6.2.4.1 About external generator control
A common measurement setup includes a signal generator, a device under test (DUT),
and a signal and spectrum analyzer, for example the R&S
FSV/A. In this setup, the sig-
nal analyzer can control which signal the generator is to send, which is in turn mea-
sured by the analyzer. This process is referred to as
external generator control . The
generator in this setup is referred to as a tracking generator .
A measurement with a tracking generator is useful to measure any effects on the
power level caused by the cables and connectors from the signal generator and the
signal analyzer in advance. The known effects can then be removed from the mea-
surement results in order to obtain accurate information on the DUT.
6.2.4.2 Basics on external generator control
Some background knowledge on basic terms and principles used for external genera-
tor control is provided here for a better understanding of the required configuration set-
tings.
