Symmetry
Applies to ramp waves only. Symmetry represents the amount of time
per cycle that the ramp wave is rising (assuming that the waveform
polarity is not reversed).
• The symmetry is stored in volatile memory; the symmetry is set to
100% when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
• The symmetry setting is remembered when you change from ramp
wave to another function. When you return to the ramp function,
the previous symmetry is used.
• If you select a ramp waveform as the modulating waveform for AM
or FM, the symmetry setting does not apply.
• Front-Panel Operation: After selecting the ramp function, press the
Symmetry softkey. Then use the knob or numeric keypad to enter the
desired symmetry.
• Remote Interface Operation:
FUNCtion:RAMP:SYMMetry {<percent>|MINimum|MAXimum}
The APPLy command automatically sets the symmetry to 100%.
