Subsystem RFGenerator 
The subsystem RFGenerator configures and controls the RF generator. It corresponds to the Generator 
tab in the popup menu Connect. Control. The generator generates two independent RF signals Tx and 
Aux Tx, referenced by the third-level keywords [:TX] and :AUXTx respectively.

Description of command 
If used as a setting command with the parameter ON this command sets all parameters of the RFGenerator 
subsystem to default values. The setting OFF results in an error message.  
If used as a query the command returns whether all parameters are set to default values (ON) or not (OFF).

Description of command 
If used as a setting command with the parameter ON this command sets all parameters of the RFGenerator 
subsystem excluding the RFGenerator:AUXTx settings to default values. The setting OFF results in an error 
message.  
If used as a query the command returns whether all parameters are set to default values (ON) or not (OFF). 
 
 
Subsystem RFGenerator (Generator Control) 
The subsystem RFGenerator controls the RF generator. It corresponds to the Generator Control func-
tion in the Generator tab of the Connection Control menu.

ABORt:RFGenerator  Switch off RF generator, release resources  ⇒ OFF 
Command description  FW vers. 
These commands have no query form. They start or stop the RF generator, setting it to the status 
indicated in the top right column. The type of RF signal generated is selected via CONFig-
ure:RFGenerator:APPlication.
