Please remake the connections as per the diagram and answer the sweep question. We can then proceed from there step by step.

Been going over the big manual a bit, it's rather convoluted.
It looks like it is saying for it to display frequency, it has to plot a curve, with a marker at the top, but I could be reading it wrong.
but there is a lot of info for set up and testing it in there that has to be followed step by step to get it in the right mode it seems.
