8 Tracking Generator
Equipped with option R&S FSV-B9, an internal tracking generator emits a signal at the
exact input frequency of the analyzer during operation. The generated signal is sent to
the DUT, thus allowing the analyzer to control the input frequency of the device directly.
When you equip the R&S ESR with option R&S FSV-B10, you are also able to control
various commercially available generators as a tracking generator.
Tracking generator control is available in "Spectrum" and "I/Q Analyzer" mode for fre-
quency, time or I/Q measurements. Special measurement functions are not available
with tracking generator control. The corresponding softkeys in the "Measurement"
menu are deactivated in this case.
