Configuration - Screens and Control Fields
Control Fields on the Configuration Screens
Date
This field specifies the current date for the internal clock. The date can
be read by a controller using GPIB and printed on test results.
The format is MMDDYY (Month Day Year), using two digits for each
term. When entering months January through September (01-09), the
leading zero is not displayed when entered. Example; May 5, 1993 is
entered as 050593, but is displayed as 50593.
The internal clock still functions when the instrument is turned off.

Display User Messages
This field controls whether or not user messages and prompts are
displayed at the top of the screen when a user action is required or an
error occurs.

Duplex Out
This field is used to indicate losses or gains between the DUPLEX OUT
port and the device-under-test.
•Enter a positive value to indicate a gain (such as an amplifier gain).
The RF generator’s level is automatically set that amount below
what is indicated in the RF generator’s Amplitude field. (Example; if
this value is 10 dB, and the Amplitude field shows 0 dBm, the actual
level out this port is −10 dBm.) The value at the output of the
external amplifier should then be at the level indicated in the
Amplitude field.
•Enter a negative value to indicate a loss (such as cable loss). The RF
generator’s level is automatically set that amount above what is
indicated in the RF generator’s Amplitude field to compensate. The
value at the opposite end of the cable (loss) should then be at the
level indicated in the Amplitude field; unless the resulting RF
generator setting exceeds the maximum output level, then an error
occurs: Input value out of range. In that case, reduce the
Amplitude setting, or decrease the Duplex Out value.
This field is only used when the RF Level Offset field is set to On.
