To configure the list mode and start signal generation
1. In the "General" tab, select "List Mode > Auto".
2. Select "Dwell Time Mode > From List".
3. Switch state to "On".
4. Select "General > State > On".
The instrument continuously generates an amplitude-modulated RF signal whose
frequency and level values change according to the dwell times, as defined in the
list.
With active list mode, the generator displays no frequency and level values in the
status bar, but you can check the following parameters.
● In the list mode dialog, the current index indicates the steps of the signal gener-
ation.
● In remote control mode, you can query:
– The current state with [:SOURce<hw>]:LIST:RUNNing?
– Current parameters with the commands FREQ?, POW? and LIST:DWEL?.
