5.2 Setups for Connecting an R&S SGS and an R&S SGU
If an R&S SGU is connected to an R&S SGS, the R&S SGU acts as an extension to
the R&S SGS extending its frequency range. In this setup, a controller does not need
to access the R&S SGU directly. Instead, the R&S SGS acts as a controller to the R&S
SGU. The generator performs all required settings automatically depending on the
required output signal parameters.
This chapter gives an overview of how to connect the instruments.

5.2.1 Direct Connection
The R&S SGS and the R&S SGU can be connected through a direct connection as
shown in Figure 5-4.

1. Connect the R&S SGS and the R&S SGU directly using one of the following
options:
a) USB cable. Use a Type Micro-A connector for R&S SGS and a Type Micro-B
connector for R&S SGU. See also Chapter 2.3.4, "Connecting a Controller or a
USB Device via USB", on page 28.
b) LAN cable. No additional cable considerations are required.
c) PCIe cable. Refer to Chapter 10.3.4, "Connecting the Controller and the Instru-
ment", on page 176 for cable requirements and setup information.
2. Switch on the R&S SGS and the R&S SGU.
The R&S SGS automatically identifies the connected R&S SGU as its extension
and starts the extension mode.
