For Model 4034

500 Trigger rate short on channel 1
501 Trigger rate short on channel 2
510 Output overload on channel 1
511 Output overload on channel 2

"Trigger rate short" means that the period of the waveform is larger than the value of the internal trigger rate.
Thus not every trigger will generate a cycle (or burst) of the waveform.


4.11 IEEE 488.2 Common Commands and Queries

4.11.1 System Data Commands

The identification query command, *IDN?, enables unique identification of the device over the GPIB.
It returns a string with four fields:
