Frequency-converting Measurements
For frequency-converting measurements (e.g. on converters) the external generator is able to set a
constant frequency offset between the output frequency of the generator and the receive frequency of
the analyzer and, in addition, the generator frequency as a multiple of the analyzer.

FREQUENCY
OFFSET
The FREQUENCY OFFSET softkey activates the input of the frequency
offset between the output signal of the generator and the input frequency of
the analyzer. The value range depends on the selected generator.
The default setting is 0 Hz. Offsets <> 0 Hz are marked with the
enhancement label FRQ.
If a positive frequency offset is entered, the tracking generator generates
an output signal above the receive frequency of the "analyzer. In case of a
negative frequency offset it generates a signal below the receive frequency
of the analyzer. The output frequency of the generator is calculated as
follows:
Generator frequency = receive frequency + frequency offset
