To access the extension mode settings and enable the extension mode
1. Select "SGMA-GUI > Instrument Name > Extension".
Tip: Steps 2 and 3 can be omitted if the R&S SGS and a single R&S SGU are con-
nected using PCIe or USB or by a direct LAN connection. In this case, R&S SGS
automatically activates the R&S SGU.
2. Trigger "Scan" to find all available instruments that can serve as an extension to
the particular instrument.
3. Select an instrument from the list and set "Available Instruments > Select > On" to
enable it as an extension.
A green status indicator "Connected" indicates the successfully established remote
connection to the extension.
4. Select "Test Signal Connections > Test" to trigger a check of all required signal
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-
ment and the activated extension mode.
You cannot access the signal generation settings of an instrument working in
extension mode. The extension is controlled via the master instrument.
To display the R&S SGU settings, click on the button next to the instrument's
name.
Select for example "SGMA-GUI > Master Instrument Name > Freq = 20 GHz", "Lev
= -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".
