If you change the frequency of an ac function and the harmonic output is not explicitly
set at the same time with the HARMONIC command, the harmonic will be set to 1.
Use multipliers e.g., k, M, μ with the OUT command, as desired.
Parameters: <value> V Volts dc or update volts ac
<value> DBM Volts ac dBm update
<value> V, <value> Hz Volts ac or volts dc with 0 Hz
<value> DBM, <value> Hz Volts ac in dBm
<value> A Current dc or update current ac
<value> A, <value> Hz Current ac
<value> OHM Resistance
<value> F Capacitance
<value> CEL Temperature (Celsius)
<value> FAR Temperature (Fahrenheit)
<value> HZ Update frequency
<value> V, <value> A Power dc or update power ac
<value> V, <value> A, <value> HZ Power ac
<value> V, <value> V Dual volts dc or update dual ac
<value> V, <value> V, <value> HZ Dual volts ac in volts
<value> For single output, changes
amplitude keeping unit and
frequency the same.
Examples: OUT 15.2 V (volts; 15.2 V @ same frequency)
OUT 20 DBM (volts; 20 dBm @ same frequency)
OUT 10 V, 60 Hz (volts ac; 10 V @ 60 Hz)
OUT 10 DBM, 50 HZ (volts ac; 10 dBm @ 50 Hz)
OUT 1.2 MA (current; 1.2 mA @ same frequency)
OUT 1 A, 400 HZ (current ac; 1 A @ 400 Hz)
OUT 1 KOHM (ohms; 1 kΩ)
OUT 1 UF (capacitance; 1 μF)
OUT 100 CEL (temperature; 100 °C)
OUT 32 FAR (temperature; 32 °F)
OUT 60 HZ (frequency update; 60 Hz)
OUT 10 V, 1 A (power; 10 watts @ same frequency)
OUT 1 V, 1 A, 60 HZ (power ac; 1 watts @ 60 Hz)
OUT 1 V, 2 V (dual volts; 1 V, 2 V @ same freq.)
OUT 10 MV, 20 MV, 60 HZ (dual volts; .01 V, .02 V @ 60 Hz)
Each example shows a value and unit, e.g., –15.2 V. If a value is entered without a unit,
the value of the existing output is changed, when logically allowed.
