1. Use the SOURce[1]:FUNCtion USER
command to output the arbitrary waveform
currently selected in memory.
2. Use the APPLy command to select frequency,
amplitude and DC offset. Alternatively, the
FUNC, FREQ, AMPl, and DCOffs commands
can be used.
3. Waveform data (4k points per waveform) can
be downloaded into volatile memory using
the DATA:DAC command. Binary integer or
decimal integer values in the range of ±
511can be used.
4. The waveform rate is the product of the
number of points in the waveform and the
waveform frequency.
Rate = Frequency × # points
Range:
Rate:
0.1Hz ~ 20MHz
Frequency:
0.1Hz ~ 10MHz
# points:
2~4096
