A tracking generator, a popular option with Spectrum Analyzers, is a source
which always tracks the SA receiver.
Like a traditional tracking generator, the Independent Source feature can set
the internal FieldFox source to track the SA receiver frequency range. It can
also set the internal source to a CW frequency that is independent of the SA
frequency.
Independent Source can be enabled ONLY when the FieldFox is in SA mode.
To view the internal source, you must connect a cable or device between the
RF Output connector and the RF Input connector.
