Using the APPLy Command
4
APPLy:SINusoid [<frequency> [,<amplitude> [,<offset>] ]] 
Output a sine wave with the specified frequency, amplitude, and 
dc offset. The waveform is output as soon as the command is executed. 
APPLy:SQUare [<frequency> [,<amplitude> [,<offset>] ]] 
Output a square wave with the specified frequency, amplitude, and 
dc offset. This command overrides the current duty cycle setting and 
automatically selects 50%. The waveform is output as soon as the 
command is executed.
APPLy:RAMP [<frequency> [,<amplitude> [,<offset>] ]] 
Output a ramp wave with the specified frequency, amplitude, and 
dc offset. This command overrides the current symmetry setting and 
automatically selects 100%. The waveform is output as soon as the 
command is executed.
APPLy:PULSe [<frequency> [,<amplitude> [,<offset>] ]] 
Output a pulse wave with the specified frequency, amplitude, and 
dc offset. The waveform is output as soon as the command is executed. 
• This command preserves the current pulse width setting 
(FUNC:PULS:WIDT command) or pulse duty cycle setting 
(FUNC:PULS:DCYC command), depending on which has been selected 
to “hold” (FUNC:PULS:HOLD command). The edge time setting 
(FUNC:PULS:TRAN command) is also preserved. However, based on 
the specified frequency, the function generator will adjust the pulse 
width or edge time to comply with the frequency restrictions for pulse 
waveforms. See page 184 for more information on setting the pulse 
width and edge time.
