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.
