2.4 RF Frequency
The RF frequency can be set directly using the [FREQ] key (cf. Section 2.2.6) or by accessing menu
FREQUENCY.
The frequency of the RF output signal is entered/indicated under FREQUENCY in the FREQUENCY
menu.
The input value of frequency settings opened by means of the [FREQ] key and indicated in the header
line considers the offset in calculation (cf. next Section). This offers the possibility of entering the desired
output frequency of possibly series-connected instruments such as mixers in the menu.

FREQUENCY
Input value of the RF frequency at the RF output connector.
IEC/IEEE-bus command SOUR:FREQ 100E6
OFFSET
Input value of the frequency offset, e.g., of a series-connected mixer (cf.
Section "Frequency Offset"). The status line indicates FREQ-OFFST.
IEC/IEEE-bus command SOUR:FREQ:OFFS 0
KNOB STEP USER
Input value of the step width for frequency variation using the rotary knob. The
RF frequency is varied in the step width entered if KNOB STEP is set to USER.
IEC/IEEE-bus command SOUR:FREQ:STEP 1MHz
KNOB STEP
DECIMAL: Variation step width corresponding to the position of the digit
cursor.
USER: "User Defined", variation step width as entered under KNOB
STEP USER .
