3 Features and Functions
78 Keysight 33210A User’s Guide
– Remote Interface Operation:
FUNCtion:SQUare:DCYCle {<percent>|MINimum|MAXimum}
The APPLy command automatically sets the duty cycle to 50%.
Symmetry (Ramp Waves)
Applies to ramp waves only. Symmetry represents the amount of time per cycle
that the ramp wave is rising (assuming that the waveform is not inverted).
– The symmetry is stored in volatile memory; the symmetry is set to 100% (the
default) when power has been off or after a remote interface reset (assuming
the Power On state is set to “default”).
– The symmetry setting is remembered when you change from ramp wave to
another function. When you return to the ramp function, the previous
symmetry is used.
– If use select a ramp waveform as the modulating waveform for AM, FM, or
PWM, the symmetry setting does not apply.
– Front-Panel Operation: After selecting the ramp function, press the Symmetry
softkey. Then use the knob or numeric keypad to enter the desired symmetry.
– Remote Interface Operation:
FUNCtion:RAMP:SYMMetry {<percent>|MINimum|MAXimum}
The APPLy command automatically sets the symmetry to 100%.
