Frequency and Level Setting - Display
Frequency/level settings and a few status messages (see below) are displayed in the header field of the
screen. The display may vary depending on the instrument's operating mode:
• In the sweep mode, the current frequency or level of the output signal is displayed.
• If user correction is active, the status message UCorr is displayed in the info line.
It should be noted that the signal at the RF output may differ from the indicated value by a set offset
(frequency or level) (see sections "RF Frequency" and "RF Level" in chapter 4.)
The frequency and level indication can be enlarged so that it covers the complete display of the R&S
SMC by using the
DIAGR key. This key toggles between block diagram, magnified frequency and level
indication and the display of the active menu.
Status Information and Messages - Display
The status information and messages are displayed in the header section of the screen. The messages
differ with respect to their importance (errors, warnings, info) and the time of their appearance (brief and
permanent messages). They require different treatment by the user. Further information on all
messages can be called in the info window (see section "Info Window - Display", page 3.6).
Chapter 9, "Error Messages" includes an overview of all status information and messages as well as
instructions for error elimination.
Status Information
The status information gives the user an overview of the main operating states and settings of the
R&S SMC. The states are indicated for information only and do not necessitate any action by the user.
Status information is displayed between the frequency and level fields, at the left of the info line or in the
info line itself.
