TRACKING GENRATOR
Before making a stimulus-response measurement, maximize the
NOTE
tracking adjustment of the tracking generator to ensure amplitude
accuracy.

TRACKING PEAK
The tracking generator must be connected to the spectrum analyzer in
NOTE
order for tracking peak to function properly.

For an 8560E/EC Option 002 see the alternate
softkey description below. Displays softkey menus only
for use with an external tracking generator. The
minimum resolution bandwidth that is supported for
stimulus-response measurements is 300 Hz.
Front-panel key access:
8560E/EC Option 002 only. Displays softkey
menus only for use with a built-in tracking generator.
When selected, TRACKING GENRATOR also displays
the RF power level of the tracking generator in the
active function block. The tracking generator warmup
period begins when the source power is set to ON and
the G is displayed in the special functions area. The
tracking generator is not turned on automatically when
the analyzer is turned on, unless the power-on state is
specified as having the source power set to ON.
The minimum resolution bandwidth that is supported
for stimulus-response measurements is 300 Hz. If a
tracking generator is active and a resolution bandwidth
less than 300 Hz is selected, then the error message
TG/RBW
INCOMPATIBLE will flash in the message area.
Front-panel key access:
Activates a routine that automatically adjusts both
the coarse- and fine-tracking adjustments to obtain the
peak response of the tracking generator on the
spectrum-analyzer display. The routine uses a 300 Hz
resolution bandwidth for peaking; therefore, narrowing
the resolution bandwidth after a tracking peak has
been done results in no tracking adjustment. Tracking
peak is not needed for resolution bandwidths greater
than or equal to 300 kHz.
