Features and Functions
You will find that this chapter makes it easy to look up all the details
about a particular feature of the function generator. Whether you are
operating the function generator from the front panel or over the remote
interface, this chapter will be useful. This chapter is divided into the
following sections:
Output Configuration, starting on page 55
Amplitude Modulation (AM), starting on page 71
Frequency Modulation (FM), starting on page 76
Burst Modulation, starting on page 81
Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK) Modulation, starting on page 90
Frequency Sweep, starting on page 94
Triggering, starting on page 98
Arbitrary Waveforms, starting on page 103
System-Related Operations, starting on page 109
Remote Interface Configuration, starting on page 114
Calibration Overview, starting on page 118
Power-On and Reset State, on page 123
Some knowledge of the front-panel menu will be helpful before you read
this chapter. If you have not already read chapter 2, “Front-Panel Menu
Operation,” starting on page 29, you may want to read it now. Chapter 4,
“Remote Interface Reference,” starting on page 125, lists the syntax for
the
SCPI commands available to program the function generator.
Throughout this manual, the following conventions are used for
SCPI command syntax for remote interface programming.
Square brackets ( [ ] ) indicate optional keywords or parameters.
Braces ( { } ) enclose parameters within a command string.
Triangle brackets ( < > ) indicate that you must substitute a value
for the enclosed parameter.
A vertical bar (
|
) separates multiple parameter choices.
