Using the APPLy Command

Output Frequency
• For the frequency parameter of the APPLy command, the output
frequency range depends on the function specified. You can substitute
“MINimum”, “MAXimum”, or “DEFault” in place of a specific value
for the frequency parameter. MIN selects the lowest frequency
allowed for the function specified and MAX selects the highest
frequency allowed. The default frequency is 1 kHz for all functions.
• Limits Due to Function: The frequency limits are determined by the
function specified in the APPLy command. For example, if you are
currently outputting an 80 MHz sine wave and then change to the
ramp function using the APPLy command, the function generator
will automatically
adjust the output frequency to 1 MHz (the upper
limit for ramps).
From the
remote interface, a “Data out of range” error
will be generated and the frequency will be adjusted as described.
