5.4.1 Generator Control
The commands used to control the different RF signal generators of the R&S CMW500
are analogous to the commands explained in section Measurement Control. A generator
is in one of the following generator states:
●
OFF: Generator turned off, resources either released or (partially) reserved from the
last time the generator was turned on.
●
PENDing: Generator turned on, but still waiting for resource allocation, adjustment,
hardware switching. No output signal is available at the selected output connector.
●
ON: Generator turned on, with all necessary adjustments finished. An output signal
is available at the selected output connector.
The OFF and PENDing/ON states correspond to the status indication "Off" and "On" in
the generator softkeys. The relationship between generator commands and generator
states is shown in the following diagram:
Generator control commands are of the following type (see also Firmware Applications):
SCPI subsystem <Application>, e.g. Generator instance State
SOURce :GPRF :GENerator<i> :STATe ON | OFF
