Indicates the carrier frequency generated by the AWG module.

Supported Devices: PXI-5610, PXIe-5644/5645/5646, PXI-5670/5671, PXIe-5672/5673/5673E, PXIe-5830/5831/5832/5840/5841/5842/5860

The specified carrier frequency is related to the RF output as shown in the following equations:


Device	Equation
PXI-5610, PXI-5670/5671, PXIe-5672	RF Frequency = Upconverter Center Frequency + Arb Carrier Frequency - 25 MHz
PXIe-5644/5645/5646, PXIe-5673/5673E, PXIe-5830/5831/5832/5840/5841/5842	RF Frequency = Upconverter Center Frequency + Arb Carrier Frequency Note The Upconverter Center Frequency (Hz) property and this property cannot be set at the same time. The only time the carrier frequency is non-zero on these devices is when in-band retuning is used.

Note Use this property to associate a carrier frequency with a waveform.

Note This property is read-only on the PXI-5670/5671 and PXIe-5672.
