RfGenerator

class RfGenerator(resourceName, name)

Bases: Hardware

RfGenerator abstract base for RF signal generators.

Provides common timing/trigger/output configuration for RF sources and a minimal control API. Subclasses implement vendor-specific behavior.

• Typical workflow: connect() → set() → upload() → check() → close()
