3 System Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the capabilities of the R&S CMW500 and their use.
This includes a description of the basic concepts that the tester uses to organize, process
and display measurement data. These basic concepts are valid for all firmware applica-
tions.
3.1 Generators
A generator provides a configurable RF signal for test purposes. The R&S CMW500
provides the "General Purpose RF" (GPRF) generator and generators for various network
standards.
All generator applications are similar in structure, although the generated signals differ
in many of their properties. The following topics describe common features of the gen-
erators. For a sample session refer to chapter 2.3.1, "Generating an RF Signal",
on page 27.
3.1.1 Generator Control
Generators can be in the "ON" or "OFF" states. In the default configuration, all generators
are switched off; no output signal is available. The generator state is shown in the gen-
erator control softkey.
► To turn the generator on or off, select the generator control softkey and press ON |
OFF.
As soon as an output signal is available at the selected connector, the control softkey
indicates the "ON" state:
