1. Designate one synthesizer as the master, the other as the slave.

2. Make the connections.

3. To avoid synchronization problems, always set up the slave

(frequency and power) before setting up the master.

4. Set up the master (frequency, power, and sweep time).

5. Set the sweep time on the slave.

6. Configure the synthesizers for step sweep, or ramp sweep.

7. Select the appropriate triggering scheme.

8. Activate the slave mode on the slave synthesizer.

9. Activate the master mode on the master synthesizer.

By connecting the master’s 10 MHz reference standard to the slave’s

10 MHz reference input, the master synthesizer’s 

 supplies

the frequency reference for both synthesizers.

In step sweep measurements, if the master synthesizer is not
connected to an external controller, it must automatically trigger
the steps. Set 

Step 

 Pt Trig Auto on the master. 

When

a the scalar network analyzer is the step sweep controller, set

Step 

 

 Trig Bus on the master synthesizer so that the

analyzer can trigger the steps.
