4 Instrument Functions 
This chapter describes the functions of the instrument and its options which can be activated manually 
via menus or by remote control (frequency and level settings, analog modulations, sweep, and general 
functions not directly related to signal generation).  
 
RF Frequency 
The RF frequency can be set directly using the [FREQ] key or via the Frequency menu. In the 
Frequency menu, the frequency of the RF output signal is entered and indicated under Frequency. 
 
In frequency settings made with the [FREQ] key, an arithmetic offset is taken into account. Such 
settings are indicated in the header line of the display. This makes it possible to enter the desired output 
frequency of subsequent units, if any (eg mixers). The offset can also be entered in the Frequency 
menu (see next section: "Frequency Offset").
