Specifies the frequency of the generated RF signal. For arbitrary waveform generation, this property specifies the center frequency of the signal.

The PXI-5670/5671, PXIe-5672, and PXIe-5820/5860 must be in the Configuration state to use this property. However, the PXIe-5644/5645/5646, PXI/PXIe-5650/5651/5652, PXIe-5653/5654/5654 with PXIe-5696, PXIe-5673/5673E, and PXIe-5830/5831/5832/5840/5841/5842 can be in the Configuration or the Generation state to use this property.

Note For the PXIe-5645, this property is ignored if you are using the I/Q ports.

Refer to the specifications document for your device for allowable frequency settings.
