Output Configuration
20% Duty Cycle 80% Duty Cycle
l Duty Cycle:0.01% to 99.99% at low frequencies; range reduced at higher frequency. Stored in volatile memory;
default 50%.
l This setting is remembered when you change to another function. A 50% duty cycle is always used for a mod-
ulating square waveform; the duty cycle setting applies only to a square wave carrier.
l Front Panel:
If you use the numeric keypad, press Percent to finish:
l SCPI: FUNCtion:SQUare:DCYCle {<percent>|MIN|MAX}
The APPLy command sets the duty cycle to 50%.
Symmetry (Ramp Waves)
Applies to ramp waves only. Symmetry represents the fraction of each cycle that the ramp wave is rising (assuming
waveform is not inverted).
0% Symmetry 100% Symmetry
l The symmetry (default 100%) is stored in volatile memory; and is remembered when you change to and from
other waveforms.
l When ramp is the modulating waveform for AM, FM, PM, or PWM, the symmetry setting does not apply.
