For multi-channel capability only.

Turns the RF outputs on or off for all the channels in the instrument. This is a master control that gates the individual states. If this control is off, no RF power is emitted from any of the channels; however, the individual channels retain the state of their setting. If this control is on, the RF outputs are on if their individual state is on. To enable or disable individual channels see RF Out.

For more information, see RF Out (All).
