Output Configuration Commands
See also “Output Configuration” starting on page 53 in chapter 3.
This section describes the low-level commands used to program the
function generator. 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.
FUNCtion {SINusoid|SQUare|RAMP|PULSe|NOISe|DC|USER}
FUNCtion?
Select the output function. The selected waveform is output using the
previously selected frequency, amplitude, and offset voltage settings. The
FUNC?
query returns “SIN”, “SQU”, “RAMP”, “PULS”, “NOIS”, “DC”, or
“USER.”
•
If you select “USER”, the function generator outputs the arbitrary
waveform currently selected by the FUNC:USER command.
The table below shows which output functions are allowed with
modulation, sweep, and burst. Each “
•
” indicates a valid combination
.
If you change to a function that is not allowed with modulation,
sweep, or burst, the modulation or mode is turned off.

Note: Arbitrary waveforms are also referred to as user-defined
waveforms.
