Example 1.
Configure a master unit to output a sinusoidal signal of 60 Hz, 115 V RMS, containing no
sub-harmonics or aberrations, and no phase shifts.
Setting UNIT:MHAR:VOLT (main harmonics units) to ABS (absolute) will allow the
amplitude value to be entered directly in volts:
Reset all parameters to a known state. *RST
Use abs units for voltage harmonics. UNIT:MHAR:VOLT ABS
Setup Phase 1 (master) voltage range. SOUR:PHAS1:VOLT:RANG 0,180
Fundamental amplitude and angle. SOUR:PHAS1:VOLT:MHAR:HARM1 115,0
Setup the fundamental frequency. SOUR:FREQ 60
Enable voltage output on this phase. SOUR:PHAS1:VOLT:STAT ON
Set output to on (all phases). OUTP:STAT ON
Example 2.
Configure a master unit to output a sinusoidal signal of 60 Hz, 115 V RMS, containing no
