Description These commands are used to select the sourcing mode for the specified

FIXed — In this sourcing mode, the specified source will output a fixed

source level. See “Select range,” page 17-61, and “Set amplitude for
fixed source,” page 17-63.
LIST — In this mode, the source will output levels that are specified in
