Debug mode has limitations when used with waveform generators and RF signal generators.

Waveform Generator Debug Mode Limitations

When you use debug mode with a waveform generator, consider the following limitations:

  • Debug mode does not support arbitrary sequence mode or script mode. You cannot control arbitrary sequence mode or script mode sessions.
  • List mode control is disabled when InstrumentStudio is in monitor mode or controller mode.
  • When InstrumentStudio is in controller mode, you cannot switch to list mode or sweep mode from another operation mode.
  • When InstrumentStudio is in monitor mode, you cannot take control of a panel with a mix of standard and arbitrary waveform channels.

RF Signal Generator Debug Mode Limitations

When you use debug mode with an RF signal generator, consider the following limitations:

  • You cannot take control of an RF signal generator panel in the following cases:
    • Streaming is enabled
    • An active configuration list is present
  • You cannot return to script mode after you click the Preset button.
  • Waveform-specific controls are read-only in Script mode.
