Frequency
The RF frequency can be set directly using the [FREQ] key (cf. Section 2.2.6) or by accessing menu
FREQUENCY.
The frequency of the RF output signal is entered/indicated under FREQUENCY in the FREQUENCY
menu.
The input value of frequency settings opened by means of the [FREQ] key and indicated in the header
line considers the offset in calculation (cf. next Section). This offers the possibility of entering the desired
output frequency of possibly series-connected instruments such as mixers in the menu.
