a) In the R&S SMW, select "RF > Reference Frequency/LO Coupling".
Select "LO Coupling Mode > A Internal& A->B Coupled".
Set "Out State > B On".
See also "To configure LO coupling with cascaded instruments to achieve
phase coherence" on page 454.
b) Disconnect the cable from the REF OUT connector.
Connect it to the LO OUT connector of the R&S SMW.
The connected instruments are reconfigured automatically so that they use the
supplied local oscillator signal.

All connected instruments generate signals with the same RF frequency.
