Keysight 81160A - Symmetry (Ramp Waves)

3.2.13 Symmetry (Ramp Waves)
Introduction
Applies to ramp waves only.
Symmetry represents the amount of time per cycle that the ramp wave is
rising (assuming that the waveform is not inverted).
Symmetry
Characteristics
 The symmetry is stored in volatile memory; the symmetry is set to
100% (the default) when power has been off or after a remote
interface reset (assuming the Power On state is set to “default”).
 The symmetry setting is remembered when you change from ramp
wave to another function. When you return to the ramp function, the
previous symmetry is used.
 If you select a ramp waveform as the modulating waveform for AM,
FM, PM, or PWM, the symmetry setting does not apply.
Front-Panel
Operation
After selecting the ramp function, press the Symmetry softkey. Then use the
knob or numeric keypad to enter the desired symmetry.
Remote Interface
Operation
The following function is used to configure the symmetry remotely:
:FUNCtion[1|2]:RAMP:SYMMetry{<percentage>|
MINimum|MAXimum}
The APPLy command automatically sets the symmetry to 100%.
