Baseline model
The below screen is an example of a RF signal generator mode configured at 3.767020GHz. This is organized
visually in GHz, MHz and KHz for easy reading.
The internal High-Power switch to ON, and the power level in mode 2 (levels are 1-4). This result in (-
3.1dBm) output at this frequency.
All elements on screen are important parameters to understand how the Signal Generator is working at any
given time. In the baseline model (non Combo) model the power level is one of the possible 8 selectable
values from Menu.
The available indicators are:
 Selected CW frequency: This is the currently selected carrier (or CW) frequency, expressed in GHz,
MHz and KHz. It can be modified in the FREQUENCY MENU.
 High Power Switch: The Signal Generator includes an internal 30dB nominal attenuator. This allows
the unit to generate low level signals for multiple purposes. The attenuator is disabled when the
High-Power Switch is ON.
