Generates RF signal based on a list of predefined frequency and level values pairs
and step widths.

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
Activates or deactivates the RF output.
Acts as the RF ON/OFF key.
Remote command:
RF output impedance
You can query the impedance of the RF output.

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. Such an unmodulated signal transmits the information without varying
the carrier signal as with a modulation, for example. The RF signal is defined by its fre-
quency, level and phase.
► Use one of the following:
● "Status Bar > Frequency and Level"
● "Frequency panel > Frequency"
