Using the APPLy Command
See also “Output Configuration,” starting on page 55 in chapter 3.
The APPLy command provides the most straightforward method to
program the function generator over the remote interface. You can
select the function, frequency, amplitude, and offset all in one command.
For example, the following statement outputs a 3 Vpp sine wave at
5 kHz with a -2.5 volt offset using APPLy:
"APPL:SIN 5 KHZ, 3.0 VPP, -2.5 V"
The syntax statements for the APPLy command are shown on page 143.
Output Frequency
For the frequency parameter of the APPLy command, the output
frequency range depends on the function currently selected.
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 selected function.
MAX selects the highest
frequency allowed. The default frequency for all functions is 1 kHz.

sinc, negative ramp, exponential rise, exponential fall, and cardiac.
