2.1 Frequency Setting
The value of the RF frequency is displayed in the header of the display (“Freq”). This field
provides the direct input of the RF frequency. Alternatively, you can enter the RF
frequency in the “Freq” dialog.
Note that the displayed RF frequency in the header and the RF output frequency, entered
in the “FREQ” dialog can be different, as explained in the following section.
If you are working with a downstream instrument, e.g. a mixer, you can enter a related
parameter value in the frequency setting dialog (“Offset”).
The correlation between the RF frequency, the RF output frequency and the frequency
offset is as follows:
“FREQ” (in header) = “RF output frequency” (frequency in dialog) + “Freq offset” (offset in
dialog)
