Setting Up a Multitone Signal
This example shows you how to create a multitone signal, which allows you to
separate the usable frequency band into multiple channels. This can make a
signal that is difficult to characterize in the time domain more readable.
Using the graphical user interface
On the MXG:
1. Select Preset > Preset to set the instrument to a known state.
2. Set Frequency to 6 GHz and Amplitude to -10 dBm.
3. Select the Signal block to open.
4. Select the Mode dropdown and select Multitone.
5. Select the Multitone tab and set:
a. Set Tones to 15 >x1.
The MXG must have the E7621APPC PathWave Signal Generation for
Multitone license installed.

Analyzer” on page 10.
