Offset (EMF)
Sets an offset between the inverting and the non-inverting output.
The value range is adjusted so that the maximum overall output voltage does not
exceed 4V, see "Maximum overall output voltage" on page 184.
The selected offset is set half in the positive and half in the negative direction.
Effect of a positive offset Effect of a negative offset
A positive offset is set with half of the value in posi-
tive direction at the non-inverting outputs, in nega-
tive direction at the inverting outputs.
A negative offset is set with half of the value in neg-
ative direction at the non-inverting outputs, in posi-
tive direction at the inverting outputs.
Example: Effect of a positive offset on the I signal component
"I Offset" = 100.0 mV
The offsets applied on the two output connectors as follows:
●
+50.0 mV at the positive signal output
●
-50.0 mV at the inverted signal output

4.9 How to Connect External Instruments and Configure
the Signal Flow
This section gives examples on the following topics:
●
How to select the required system configuration and to configure the signal flow
through the instrument
●
How to connect external instruments to the R&S SMW and how to configure them
●
How to define the input and output signals.
General workflow
The general workflow described in "General workflow for finding out the suitable sys-
tem configuration for a current use case" on page 107. The Figure 4-19 is a graphical
representation of this workflow.
