Power Up and Reset Conditions

The NI RF signal generator hardware is in the following state after powering on or restarting the system and allowing the PC operating system and the NI-RFSG driver to fully load. These conditions are also true after a device reset (performed directly from MAX or by calling the niRFSG Reset Device VI or the niRFSG_ResetDevice function).

• Thermal shutdown monitoring is activated.
• NI 5610 upconverter module RF enclosure is powered on.
• Both module front panel ACCESS LEDs are green.
• LOCAL OSC OUT 0 module front panel output connector is disabled.
• Reverse power protection relay is open.
• All attenuators are asserted.
• Generation Mode is set to CW (continuous wave).
• Both module front panel ACTIVE LEDs are OFF.
• RF output power is set to < -140 dBm.
