Query
Syntax: [:SOURce]:FREQuency[:CW]?[<ws>MAXimum|MINimum]
Examples: :FREQ?

:FREQ? MAX

Response: NR3


Considerations:

1) The MIN | MAX arguments should be used only in a Program Message that does NOT contain Program
Message Units specifying Arbitrary Point Rate or Wavelength, since the MAXimum or MINimum value is
calculated at the time the command is parsed.

2) The MIN and MAX arguments refer to currently settable minimum or maximum.

3) FIXed is alias for CW.

4.13.1.2 Amplitude


:SOURce:VOLTage[:AMPLitude] <p-p amplitude>

The amplitude command is used to set the peak-to-peak amplitude of the output waveform. Note that the amplitude
and the offset are limited by the relation


Peak Amplitude + |Offset|

≤ 5V


Arguments
Type:

Numeric

Units:

V, mV

Range:

10mV to 10V

Rounding:

1mV from 10mV to 999mV. 10mV from 1V to 10V.

Command Type: Setting or Query
Setting
Syntax:

[:SOURce]:VOLTage:AMPLitude<ws><amplitude>[units]

[:SOURce]:VOLTage:AMPLitude<ws>MINimum|MAXimum

Examples:

:VOLT:AMPL 2.5

:VOLT:AMPL 2.5V

:VOLT:AMPL MAX

Query
Syntax:

[:SOURce]:VOLTage:AMPLitude?

[<ws>MINimum|MAXimum]

Examples:

:VOLT:AMPL?

:VOLT:AMPL? MAX

Response:

NR2

Considerations:


1) The MAXimum amplitude is dependent on the offset.
2) The MAX and MIN arguments should not be used in a program message containing an OFFSet
command, since these values are evaluated during parsing, based on the current value of the offset.

4.13.1.3 Offset


:SOURce:VOLTage:OFFSet <offset>

The offset command is used to set the DC offset of the output waveform. Note that the amplitude and the offset are
limited by the relation


Peak Amplitude + |Offset|

≤ 5V
