How to Calibrate a Measurement Setup using an External Generator
1. Connect the signal generator's GPIB interface connector to the "Ext. Gen.Control
GPIB" connector on the rear panel of the R&S FSW.
2. Connect the signal generator output to the "RF input" connector of the R&S FSW.
3. If the signal generator supports TTL synchronization, connect the signal generator
to the optional"Aux.Control" port.
4. If the measurement setup does not require the full span of the R&S FSW, change
the "Frequency Start" and "Frequency Stop" values ([FREQ] key > "Frequency
Config" softkey).
5. Press the [INPUT/OUTPUT] key and select "External Generator Config".
6. In the "Interface Configuration" subtab, select the "Generator Type" connected to
the R&S FSW.
If the required generator type is not available, define a new setup file as described
in "To define a new generator setup file" on page 402.
7. Select the type of interface and the address used to connect the generator to the
R&S FSW.
8. If the generator supports "TTL Synchronization", activate this function.
9. Select "Reference: External" to synchronize the analyzer with the generator.
10. Switch to the "Measurement Configuration" subtab.
11. Set the "Source State" to "On".
12. Define the generator output level as the "Source Power".
