APPLy Command Syntax
Because of the use of optional parameters in the APPLy commands
(enclosed in square brackets), you must specify frequency to use the
amplitude parameter, and you must specify both frequency and
amplitude to use the offset parameter. The following statement is
valid (frequency and amplitude are specified; offset is omitted):
"APPL:SIN 5.0E+3, 3.0"
However, you
CANNOT specify amplitude and offset without frequency.
You can substitute “MINimum”, “MAXimum”, or “DEFault” in place of
specific values for the frequency, amplitude, and offset parameters.
For example, the following statement outputs a 3 Vpp sine wave at
15 MHz (the maximum frequency for sine) with a -2.5 volt offset:
"APPL:SIN MAX, 3.0, -2.5"
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. The waveform is output as soon as the command is executed.
APPLy:TRIangle [<
frequency> [,<amplitude> [,<offset>] ]]
Output a triangle wave with the specified frequency, amplitude, and
dc offset. 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. The waveform is output as soon as the command is executed.
