programming interface between the hardware and the analyzer's application environment.  
 
The External Generators dialog provides two tables and some additional buttons.  
• The upper table (Found:) shows all generators that the analyzer detects to be on-line (i.e. 
connected and switched on). All generators in the table must have been configured previously, 
however, they can be deleted in the lower table.  
• Add v and Add All v buttons copy the selected generator in the upper table to the lower table. 
• The lower table (Configured:) shows all configured generators with their properties. The 
properties are defined in the Add/Modify External Generator dialog, to be opened by means of 
the  Add Other... or  Modify...  buttons. All configured generators are available as additional 
sources for measurements and power calibrations.  
An icon in the first columns of the tables indicates whether the generators are currently available. The 
Found: table and the icons in the Configured: table are automatically updated each time the External 
Generators  dialog is opened (to update explicitly use the Refresh  button). The remaining control 
elements are self-explanatory.  
Icons in the generator tables 
Two different icons describe the status of a generator:  
•
The generator is on-line (connected, switched on, ready to be used) 
•
The generator was detected (upper table) or configured (lower table) but is not on-line
