Features and Functions
This chapter makes it easy to look up all the details about a particular
feature of the function generator. It covers both front panel and remote
interface operation. You may want to read chapter 2, “Front-Panel Menu
Operation” first. See chapter 4, “Remote Interface Reference” for a
detailed discussion of the syntax of the SCPI commands to program the
function generator. This chapter is divided into the following sections:
• Output Configuration on page 53
• Pulse Waveforms on page 68
• Amplitude Modulation (AM) on page 72
• Frequency Modulation (FM) on page 77
• Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) on page 93
• Frequency Sweep on page 90
•Burst Mode on page 97
• Triggering on page 106
• Optional Arbitrary Waveforms (Option 002) on page 112
• System-Related Operations on page 119
• Remote Interface Configuration on page 128
• External Timebase Reference (Option 001) on page 137
• Calibration Overview on page 139
• Factory Default Settings on page 143
Throughout this manual, the following conventions are used for
SCPI command syntax for remote interface programming:
• Square brackets ( [ ] ) indicate optional keywords or parameters.
•Braces ( { } ) enclose parameters within a command string.
• Triangle brackets ( < > ) enclose parameters for which you must
substitute a value.
• A vertical bar ( | ) separates multiple parameter choices.
Throughout this manual “default” states and values are identified. These
are the power-on default states provided you have not enabled the
power-down recall mode (see “Instrument State Storage” on page 119).
