APPLy Command Syntax
– Because of the use of optional parameters in the APPLy commands (enclosed
in square brackets), you must specify frequency to use the amplitude
parameter, and you must specify both frequency and amplitude to use the
offset parameter. For example, the following command string is valid
(frequency and amplitude are specified but offset is omitted and therefore uses
a default value).
APPL:SIN 5.0E+3, 3.0
However, you cannot specify an amplitude or offset without specifying a
frequency.
– You can substitute “MINimum”, “MAXimum”, or “DEFault” in place of specific
values for the frequency, amplitude, and offset parameters. For example, the
following statement outputs a 3 Vpp sine wave at 10 MHz (the maximum
frequency for sine) with a -2.5 volt offset.
APPL:SIN MAX, 3.0, -2.5
–The APPLy command performs the following operations:
– Sets the trigger source to Immediate (equivalent to sending the TRIG:SOUR
IMM command).
– Turns off any modulation, sweep, or burst mode currently enabled and
places the instrument in the continuous waveform mode.
– Turns on the Output connector (OUTP ON command) but does not change
the output termination setting (OUTP:LOAD command).
–
Overrides the voltage autorange setting
and automatically enables
autoranging
(
VOLT:RANG:AUTO
command
).
– For square waveforms, overrides the current duty cycle setting and
automatically selects 50% (FUNC:SQU:DCYC command).
– For ramp waveforms, overrides the current symmetry setting and
automatically selects 100% (FUNC:RAMP:SYMM command).
