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 Control mode.
  • When InstrumentStudio is in Control 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.

For more information on Monitor and Control modes, see Monitor and Control Devices Used in an External Session.

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.
