Command Reference
BTWV - Burst Wave Command
DESCRIPTION Sets waveform type to burst or retrieves Burst Wave settings.
SYNTAX
<channel>:BursTWaVe STATE,ON,<parameter>,<value>,…
<channel>:= {C1|C2}
<parameter>:= {a parameter from the table below}
<value>:= {a value from the table below}
IMPORTANT: Set STATE ON before setting other parameters. Specify carrier wave type before listing
other CARR parameters (e.g., C1:BTWV STATE,ON,CARR,WVTP,<value>....). Once set, you do not need
to repeat CARR; it is shown here to indicate which parameters can follow it.
Parameters Value Description
STATE {ON|OFF} To set or read other Burst Wave parameters, first set STATE ON.
PRD <period> Where <period>:= {default unit is S; WS2000 1µs to 500S; WS3000 1µs to
1000S}. Parameter is invalid when CARR,WVTP is NOISE or GATE_NCYC
is GATE. Parameter is valid only when TRSR is INT.
STPS <start phase> Where <start phase>:= {0 to 360}. Parameter is invalid when CARR,WVTP is
NOISE or PULSE.
GATE_NCYC {GATE|NCYC} Configures burst waveform either gated or N-cycled. Parameter is invalid
when CARR,WVTP is NOISE.
TRSR {EXT, INT, MAN} Sets trigger source EXTernal, INTernal, or MANual. Parameter is valid only
when GATE_NCYC is NCYC.
DLAY <delay> Where <delay>:= {default unit is S; min. 0; max. depends on the Burst
period}. Parameter is valid only when GATE_NCYC is NCYC.
PLRT {NEG|POS} Sets polarity NEGative or POSitive. Parameter is valid only when
GATE_NCYC is GATE.
TRMD <trigger mode> Where <trigger mode>:= {RISE, FALL, OFF}. Parameter is invalid when
TRSR is EXT. Parameter is valid only when GATE_NCYC is NCYC.
EDGE {RISE|FALL} Use rising or falling edge. Parameter is invalid when CARR,WVTP is NOISE.
Parameter is valid only when GATE_NCYC is NCYC.
TIME <cycle time> Where <cycle time>:= {1 to 50000}. Parameter is valid only when
GATE_NCYC is NCYC.
MTRIG Triggers the device once. Parameter is valid only when TRSR is MAN.
CARR,WVTP <wave type>
Where carrier <wave type>:= {SINE, SQUARE, RAMP, PULSE, NOISE,
ARB}. CARR,WVTP cannot be NOISE if GATE_NCYC is NCYC.
(CARR,)FRQ <frequency>
Where carrier wave <frequency>:= {default unit is Hz; minimum 1xe-6 Hz,
maximum depends on the WaveStation model}.
