4 Remote Interface Reference
178 Keysight 33210A User’s Guide
Simplified Programming Overview
This section gives an overview of the basic techniques used to program the
function generator over the remote interface. This section is only an overview and
does not give all of the details you will need to write your own application
programs. Refer to the remainder of this chapter and also the application
examples in Chapter 6 for more details. You may also want to refer to the
reference manual that came with your programming application for further details
on instrument control.
Using the APPLy Command
The APPLy command provides the most straightforward method to program the
function generator over the remote interface. For example, the following
command string sent from your computer will output a 3 Vpp sine wave at 5 kHz
with a -2.5 volt offset.
APPL:SIN 5.0E+3, 3.0, -2.5
Using the Low-Level Commands
Although
the APPLy command
provides the most straightforward method
to
program the function generator, the low-level commands give you more flexibility
to change individual parameters. For example, the following command strings
sent from your computer will output a 3 Vpp sine wave at 5 kHz with a -2.5 volt
offset.
FUNC SIN
Select sine wave function
FREQ 5000 Set frequency to 5 kHz
VOLT 3.0
Set amplitude to 3 Vpp
VOLT:OFFS -2.5
Set offset to -2.5 Vdc
