Overview of Instrument Functions

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.

The general instrument settings include various functions, such as:

The RF signal and the reference oscillator are configured in the "RF" function block:

The analog and external digital modulations are activated in the "Modulation" function block:

The internal LF generators, the LF frequency sweep and the pulse generator are configured in the "Mod Gen" function block:
