This chapter explains the functions of the R&S SMC and the options available in the setting menus. The associated SCPI command is specified for each parameter (where applicable).
The description starts with the general instrument settings which do not directly affect signal generation. The majority of these settings can be accessed by means of front-panel softkey menus and not by means of function block menus.
The signal generation functions are then described, beginning with the functions which affect the RF signal ("RF" block) and the analog modulations ("Mod" block). The configuration of the modulation generators (LF generators and pulse generator) and of the LF sweep is offered in the "Mod Gen" block. The clock synthesis signal is set in the "Clock Synthesis" block.
- Setting a defined basic setup using the PRESET key
see "Default Instrument Settings - Preset Key" - Switching from remote control to manual control using the LOCAL key
see "Switching to Manual Control - Local Key" - Configuring the generator and its interfaces in the "Setup" dialog - e.g. setting the GPIB address, starting an adjustment, querying instrument data
see "General Configuration of Instrument - Setup Key" - Calling up the online help using the HELP key
see "Help System - Help Key" - Querying messages using the INFO key
see "Messages - Info Key" - Loading and storing complete instrument settings in the "File" menu

The RF signal and the reference oscillator are configured in the "RF" function block:
- CW mode
see "Overview of RF Signal" - Frequency and Level Sweep mode
see "Overview" - Reference Oscillator
see "Reference Oscillator"
- RF Level
see "Overview of RF Level" - RF Level Sweep
see "RF Level Sweep" - ALC
see "Automatic Level Control - ALC" - Power Sensors
see "NRP-Z Power Viewer" - User Correction
see "User Correction"
- Amplitude Modulation
see "Amplitude Modulation (AM)" - Frequency Modulation
see "Frequency Modulation (FM)" - Phase Modulation
see "Phase Modulation (PhiM)" - Pulse Modulation
see "Pulse Modulation (PM)"
The internal LF generators, the LF frequency sweep and the pulse generator are configured in the "Mod Gen" function block:
- LF Frequency Sweep
see "LF Frequency Sweep" - LF output
