SOURce:TG:AUTO <State>
This command turns the tracking generator on and off.
Prerequisites for this command
●
Turn on signal source (SOURce:TG[:STATe]).
●
Select a span > 0.
Using the tracking generator is not possible for time domain measurements (span
= 0). For time domain measurements, you have to turn off the tracking generator
and either generate a signal whose frequency is fix or is coupled to the center fre-
quency.
– Fixed frequency: SOURce:TG:FREQuency
– Coupled to center frequency: SOURce:TG:FREQuency:AUTO
Parameters:
<State> ON | 1
Turns on the tracking generator. The R&S FPC generates a sig-
nal whose frequency depends on the current measurement fre-
quency (signal source mode "Tracking Generator").
OFF | 0
Turns off the tracking generator. You can either generate a sig-
nal whose frequency is fix or is coupled to the center frequency.
Example: //Turn on tracking generator
SOUR:TG ON
SOUR:TG:AUTO OFF
SOURce:TG:FREQuency <Frequency>
This command defines the frequency of the signal generated by the signal source.
Prerequisites for this command
●
Turn on signal source (SOURce:TG[:STATe]).
●
Turn off tracking generator (SOURce:TG:AUTO).
●
Select fixed frequency mode (SOURce:TG:FREQuency:AUTO).
Parameters:
<Frequency> <numeric value>
Default unit: Hz
Example: //Define fix frequency of generated signal
SOUR:TG ON
SOUR:TG:FREQ:AUTO OFF
SOUR:TG:FREQ 100MHZ
SOURce:TG:FREQuency:AUTO <State>
This command couples and decouples the output frequency of the signal source to the
center frequency.
