[:SOURce[<n>]]:FREQuency:STOP
Syntax
[:SOURce[<n>]]:FREQuency:STOP {<frequency>|MINimum|MAXimum}
[:SOURce[<n>]]:FREQuency:STOP? [MINimum|MAXimum]
Description
Sets the stop frequency of the sweep function of the specified channel.
Queries the stop frequency of the sweep function of the specified channel.

Remarks
 Start frequency (
[:SOURce[<n>]]:FREQuency:STARt) and stop frequency are the upper and lower
limits of the frequency for frequency sweep. The generator always sweeps from the start frequency to
the stop frequency, and then returns back to the start frequency. When the start frequency is smaller
than the stop frequency, the signal generator sweeps from the low frequency to high frequency; when
the start frequency is greater than the stop frequency, the signal generator sweeps from high
frequency to low frequency. When the start frequency is equal to the stop frequency, the signal
generator outputs at the fixed frequency.
 When [:SOURce[<n>]] or [<n>] is omitted, the system sets the related parameters of CH1 by default.
 The Sine, Square, Ramp, and Arbitrary waveform can generate the sweep output. The range of the
stop frequency <frequency> differs for different sweep waveforms.
 The start frequency, stop frequency, center frequency and frequency span fulfills the following
equations.

 The generator will restart to sweep and output from the specified "Start Frequency" after the "stop
frequency" is modified. In large-scale sweep, the amplitude characteristic of the output signal might
change.
Return Format
The query returns the stop frequency in scientific notation, with 7 effective digits. For example,
9.000000E+02 (the stop frequency is 900 Hz).
Example
:SOUR1:FREQ:STOP 900 /*Sets the stop frequency of the sweep function of CH1 to 900 Hz.*/
:SOUR1:FREQ:STOP? /*Queries the stop frequency of the sweep function of CH1 and the query
returns 9.000000E+02.*/
