The new SPECTRAN V6 Tracking Generator block is a simple to use tracking generator for the SPECTRAN V6:

If you dock the Spectrum Zoom block you get an additional view since the  "Reference Trace" feature offers more flexibility.

After setting up your mission you need to start a standard setup calibration:

• First of all make sure only to use high quallity test cable connected to Rx1 and Tx
• Add a thru connector (connect Rx1 and Tx cable together)
• Now start the calibration measurement and generate a new reference trace by selecting Mode->"ref" from the SPECTRAN V6 Tracking generator controls. Wait for a view seconds so that enought data are captured. Then change the Mode to "-ref" and you should get a stable flat trace. This shows that the system is now calibrated.
• Remove the through line and connect the DUT instead

You now get a steady measurement of the cable damping or filter rejection in dB. Attached Screenshot shows the rejection measurement of a WiFi band pass filter:
