Tracking
Mode

When operating in tracking mode, the 360B steers
its second local oscillator frequency and phase sig-
nal so as to phase-lock itself to the reference signal
from the 681XXC. Due to the inherent resolution of
the 360B’s frequency readout, frequency resolution
is limited to 1 kHz intervals.

Tracking Mode Configuration
In order for the 681XXC to operate with a 360B in
tracking mode, the signal generator must be operat-
ing in normal mode (SS Mode off). In addition, its
GPIB address and data terminator must match the
System Bus source address and data terminator
that are set on the 360B VNA.

To verify the GPIB address and data terminator or
to turn the SS mode off, press

SYSTEM

. At the

System Menu display, press

Config

tem Configuration Menu is displayed, press
