Hi Sir

We saw API functions rlEnableContMode and rlSetContModeConfig in the document.

Does it help for us to set CW mode with specific frequency for test ?

or other suggestion

please advise

Hi Yimin,

Correct. Those are API functions enable continuous streaming mode. In our documentation, continuous wave (CW) and continuous streaming are used somewhat interchangeably.

Were you able to configure the device into CW mode yet?

Thank you,
Randy

Hi Sir

Thanks for your reply

Do you know the procedure how to set the API to meet the requirement?

Or need to program specific FW?

Please advise

Yimin,

The normal firmware support CW mode. The exact procedure can be found in the same ICD document API location you are referencing above. See Section 5.22.3 Continuous streaming mode (in single device case). Please let me know if that helps.

Thank you,
Randy
