R&S SMB  Function Check 
1407.0812.62 1.17  E-2 
Function Check 
The signal generator automatically monitors the main functions when the instrument is switched on and 
continuously during operation. 
 
If a fault is detected, ERROR is displayed in the info line together with a brief error description. 
For in-depth identification of the error, press the 
 INFO  key. In response, a description of the error(s) is 
displayed (see Chapter 9, "Error Messages").  
Besides automatic monitoring of instrument functions, other capabilities in the R&S SMB ensure correct 
functioning of the signal generator. 
-  Internal Adjustments 
Adjustments can be performed in the Setup-System-Internal Adjustments menu. Thus, optimum 
modulation performance can be obtained, for instance.. 
-  Test points 
Internal test points can be queried by the user and the results can be displayed. See Chapter 4, 
section "Test Point... - Setup-Test".
