●
If the stop frequency lies above F MAX, the generator is switched off. When the
generator is subsequently switched on using the
on page 477 softkey, the stop frequency is limited to F MAX.
●
If the stop frequency lies below F MIN, the generator is switched off and an error
message is displayed.

Reverse sweep
The "Offset" setting can be used to sweep in the reverse direction. You can do this by
setting a "negative" offset in the tracking generator configuration.
Example for reverse sweep:
F
AnalyzerStart
F
AnalyzerStop
F
Offset
Numerator = Denominator = 1
→F
GeneratorStart
→F
GeneratorStop
If the offset is adjusted so that the sweep of the generator crosses the minimum gener-
ator frequency, a message is displayed in the status bar ("Reverse Sweep via min. Ext.
Generator Frequency!").
Example for reverse sweep via minimum frequency:
F
AnalyzerStart
F
AnalyzerStop
F
Offset
F
min
Numerator = Denominator = 1
→F
GeneratorStart
→F
GeneratorStop
Result Frequency Start
For reference only: The start frequency for the generator, calculated from the config-
ured generator frequency and the start value defined for the analyzer.
Result Frequency Stop
For reference only: The stop frequency for the generator, calculated from the config-
ured generator frequency and the stop value defined for the analyzer.
