APPLy Subsystem
Parameter Typical Return
<frequency> in Hz, default 1 kHz (none)
<amplitude> Desired output amplitude in Vpp, Vrms or dBm, as specified by VOLTage:UNIT.
1 mVpp to 10 Vpp into 50 Ω, or twice that into an open circuit. Default 100 mVpp into 50 Ω
<offset> is the DC offset voltage (default 0), from ±5 VDC into 50 Ω, or from ±10 VDC into
an open circuit.
Configure a 5 V ramp wave at 3 kHz with 0 V offset:
APPL:RAMP 3 KHZ, 5.0 V, 0
Frequency
l The APPLy command must be appropriate for the function. For example, the command APPL:RAMP 5 MHz results
in a "Data out of range" error. In that case, the frequency would be set to 200 kHz, which is the maximum for a
ramp.
Offset Voltage
l The relationship between offset voltage and output amplitude is shown below. Vmax is the maximum peak voltage
for the selected output termination (5 V for a 50 Ω load or 10 V for a high-impedance load).
|Voffset| < Vmax - Vpp/2
If the specified offset voltage is not valid, the instrument will adjust it to the maximum DC voltage allowed with the
specified amplitude. From the remote interface, a "Data out of range" error will also be generated.
l Limits Due to Output Termination: The offset range depends on the output termination setting. For example, if
you set offset to 100 mVDC and then change output termination from 50 Ω to "high impedance," the offset volt-
age displayed on the front panel doubles to 200 mVDC (no error is generated). If you change from "high imped-
ance" to 50 Ω, the displayed offset voltage will be halved. See OUTPut[1|2]:LOAD for details.

Outputs a sine wave with the specified frequency, amplitude, and DC offset.
