REMOTE INTERFACE

Apply Commands

The APPLy command has 5 different types of outputs (Sine, Square,

Ramp, Noise, User(ARB)). The Apply command is the quickest,

easiest way to output waveforms remotely. Frequency, amplitude

and offset can be specified for each function.

As only basic parameters can be set with the Apply command, other

parameters, such as duty and symmetry use the instrument default

values.

The Apply command will set the trigger source to immediate and

disable modulation and sweep modes, if active. The command also

turns on the output command SOURce[1]:OUTP ON.

As the frequency, amplitude and offset parameters are in nested

square brackets, the amplitude can only be specified if the frequency

has been specified and the offset can only be specified if the

amplitude has been set. See the syntax below for the example:

SOURce1:APPLy:<function> [<frequency> [,<amplitude>

[,<offset>] ]]

Output Frequency

For the output frequency, MINimum, MAXimum

and DEFault can be used instead of specifying a

frequency. The default frequency for all functions

is set to 1 kHz.

The maximum and minimum frequency depends

on the function used and the model of the

frequency generator. If a frequency output that is

out of range is specified, the max/min frequency

will be used instead. A ―-222‖ error will be

generated from the remote terminal.
