• Remote Interface Operation:
FUNCtion {SINusoid|SQUare}
You can also use the
APPLy
command to select the function, frequency
,
amplitude, and offset with a single command.
Carrier Frequency
The maximum carrier frequency depends on the function selected as
shown below. The default is 1 kHz for all functions.
• Front-Panel Operation: To set the carrier frequency, press the Freq
softkey for the selected function. Then use the knob or numeric
keypad to enter the desired frequency.
• Remote Interface Operation:
FREQuency {<frequency>|MINimum|MAXimum}
