First Steps with the Instrument

If an R&S SGU is connected to a signal generator, the instrument acts as an
extension to the signal generator extending its frequency range.
This section provides an example on how to configure the instrument to convert a
continuous wave (CW) signal.
4.1 R&S SGU as an Extension to the R&S SGS
In case the R&S SGU is connected to a compatible R&S signal generator, a con-
troller only needs to talk to the signal generator which in turn takes care of the
proper settings for the R&S SGU.
In the following example, the instrument is manually operated via the R&S
SGMA-GUI software. The R&S SGU in this example is a base unit equipped with
the frequency option R&S SGU-B120.
Configuring the R&S SGU to upconvert a CW signal generated by the R&S
SGS
As a prerequisite for this example the R&S SGMA-GUI software has to be instal-
led on a remote PC.
