Basic Operation
Configuring the RF Output
Configuring a Frequency Sweep
1. Set up the equipment as shown in Figure 2-2.
NOTE The PSG signal generator is not compatible with the GPIB system interface of an 8757A,
8757C, or 8757E. For these older scalar network analyzers, do not connect the GPIB
cable in Figure 2-2. This method provides only a subset of 8757D functionality. See the
PSG Data Sheet for details. Use the 8757A/C/E documentation instead of this
procedure.

2. Turn on both the 8757D and the PSG.
3. On the 8757D, press
SYSTEM > MORE > SWEEP MODE and verify that the SYSINTF softkey is set to ON.
This ensures that the system interface mode is activated on the 8757D. The system interface mode
enables the instruments to work as a system.
4. Press
Utility > GPIB/RS-232 LAN to view the PSG’s GPIB address under the GPIB Address softkey. If you
want to change it, press
GPIB Address and change the value.
5. On the 8757D, press
LOCAL > SWEEPER and check the GPIB address. If it does not match that of the PSG,
change the value.
