FRQ Frequency Offset (see "(Automatic) Source Frequency (Numerator/Denomi-
nator/Offset)" on page 77

Error and status messages
The following status and error messages may occur during external generator control.
Message Description
"Ext. Generator GPIB Handshake Error!" /
"Ext. Generator TCPIP Handshake Error!" /
"Ext. Generator TTL Handshake Error!"
Connection to the generator is not possible, e.g. due to a
cable damage or loose connection or wrong address.
"Ext. Generator Limits Exceeded!" The allowed frequency or power ranges for the generator
were exceeded.
"Reverse Sweep via min. Ext. Generator Fre-
quency!"
Reverse sweep is performed; frequencies are reduced to
the minimum frequency, then increased again; see
"Reverse sweep" on page 45
"Ext. Generator File Syntax Error!" Syntax error in the generator setup file (see chap-
ter 4.7.4.3, "Generator Setup Files", on page 40
