Using the APPLy Command
4
APPLy:SINusoid [<frequency> [,<amplitude> [,<offset>] ]]
Output a sine wave with the specified frequency, amplitude, and
dc offset. The waveform is output as soon as the command is executed.
APPLy:SQUare [<frequency> [,<amplitude> [,<offset>] ]]
Output a square wave with the specified frequency, amplitude, and
dc offset. This command overrides the current duty cycle setting and
automatically selects 50%. The waveform is output as soon as the
command is executed.
APPLy:RAMP [<frequency> [,<amplitude> [,<offset>] ]]
Output a ramp wave with the specified frequency, amplitude, and
dc offset. This command overrides the current symmetry setting and
automatically selects 100%. The waveform is output as soon as the
command is executed.
APPLy:PULSe [<frequency> [,<amplitude> [,<offset>] ]]
Output a pulse wave with the specified frequency, amplitude, and
dc offset. The waveform is output as soon as the command is executed.
• This command preserves the current pulse width setting (PULS:WIDT
command) and edge time setting (PULS:TRAN command). However,
based on the specified frequency, the function generator will adjust
the pulse width or edge time to comply with the frequency restrictions
for pulse waveforms. See page 166 for more information on setting the
pulse width and edge time.
• In most applications, the repetition rate for pulse waveforms is
specified using a waveform period rather than frequency. The APPLy
command will make approximations in some cases to generate a pulse
with the specified frequency. Therefore, the recommended method for
setting the repetition rate for pulse waveforms is using the PULS:PER
command (see page 166).
