The RF signal is based on a list of predefined frequency and level values pairs
and step widths.
See Chapter 6, "List and Sweep Mode", on page 154.
3.1 Activating RF Signal Output
Per default, the RF output signal is deactivated.
To activate the RF output
1. Configure the RF signal as required.
Set, for example, the frequency and level values.
2. Activate the RF output in one of the following ways:
a) Select "Level > RF ON > On"
b) Press the [RF on/off] key at the front panel.
3. In the "Level" tile, observe the color of the "RF On" icon.
The blue color indicates that the RF output is activated.
RF State/RF ON............................................................................................................62

RF State/RF ON
Activates or deactivates the RF output.
Acts as the [RF on/off] key.
Remote command:
:OUTPut<hw>[:STATe] on page 445
RF output impedance
You can query the impedance of the RF output.
Remote command:
:OUTPut<hw>:IMPedance? on page 446
3.2 How to Set the Frequency and Level
The simplest form of the RF signal is a continuous wave (CW) of constant frequency
and amplitude. The RF signal is defined by its frequency, level and phase.
► Use one of the following:
● "Status Bar > Frequency and Level"
● "Frequency panel > Frequency"
● "Level panel > Level"
● "Frequency panel > Frequency > Phase"
