Since the offset function can be used to add or subtract a fixed value to/from
the measurement result, you can use this feature to tune or align the odd

negative offset, the Counter displays the difference between the LO’s
frequency and the target frequency. You can then adjust the LO until the
Counter displays a value of zero.
