RF indicator while running an EMS test

Question:

I want to be sure that RF from the generator is switched off when my notification message is displayed. In EMC32, I see two RF indicators when the message is displayed. Which of the indicators shown in EMC32 is correct?

Answer:

The indicator Generator RF ON / RF OFF shown in the Scan Parameters panel shows the correct status. If this indicator shows RF OFF, you can be sure that the RF from the generator is switched off.

RF indicator while running an EMS test

The orange indicator in the test control toolbar is active when the power amplifier is in the "Operate" mode. This indicator gives you information about the amplifier, not the RF generator.
