connections.
The diagram displays the connection state of the tested connections.
The R&S SGMA-GUI indicates the extended frequency range of the master instru-

button next to the instrument's
name.

= -30 dBm" and enable "RF > State > On". The extension adopts these values and
states automatically. To confirm, disable the "Extension > Available Instruments >
Extension Name > Select > Off" and compare the values of the parameters
"SGMA-GUI > Extension Instrument Name > Freq/Lev".
