Using the APPLy Command

Output Frequency 
•For the frequency parameter of the APPLy command, the output 
frequency range depends on the function specified. You can substitute 
“MINimum”, “MAXimum”, or “DEFault” in place of a specific value 
for the frequency parameter. MIN selects the lowest frequency 
allowed for the function specified and MAX selects the highest 
frequency allowed. The default frequency is 1 kHz for all functions.
• Limits Due to Function: The frequency limits are determined by the 
function specified in the APPLy command. The APPLy command 
always sets both the function and the frequency, and the specified 
frequency must be appropriate for the function. For example, the 
command APPL:RAMP 10 MHz results in a “Data out of range” error. 
The frequency is set to 100 kHz, which is the maximum for a ramp 
waveform.
