Aeroflex 3412 - An Example; The Starting Point; Setting the Carrier Frequency

An example
To help you quickly become familiar with the basic operation of the instrument, try the following
exercise, which demonstrates how to set up a typical signal with these parameters:
Carrier frequency: 100 MHz
Output level: −10 dBm
Frequency modulation: 100 kHz deviation at 500 Hz modulation.
Once you have done this exercise once, you are unlikely to need it again — the instrument is very
intuitive to use!

Error message
If an error number (for example, Err 100) is displayed, it can be canceled by a correct entry (for
example, by entering a value that is within limits).

If you make a mistake when keying in, press the backspace key and re-enter the correct value.
You can also clear the entire entry by reselecting the function.
