4.5.1 APPLy Commands
The APPLy command provides the most straightforward method to program
the instrument over the remote interface. You can select the function,
frequency, amplitude, and offset all in one command as shown in the syntax
statement below.
APPLy:<function>[<frequency>[,<amplitude>
[,<offset>]]]
For example, the following command string sent from your computer will
output a 3 V sine wave at 5 kHz with a -2.5 volt offset. APPL:SIN 5 KHZ, 3.0
V, -2.5 V.
For the frequency parameter of the APPLy command, the output frequency
range depends on the function specified. You can substitute “MINimum”,
“MAXimum” or “DEFault” in place of a specific value for the frequency
parameter. The “DEFault” frequency is 1kHz.
For the amplitude parameter of the APPLy command, the output amplitude
range depends on the function specified, the output termination and the
selected amplifier type. “MINimum”, “MAXimum” or “DEFault” can also
be used. The “DEFault” amplitude is 1.0 Vpp (into 50Ohms) for all
functions. The amplitude value will be interpreted as defined by the SCPI
command: VOLT:UNIT VPP|VRMS|DBM.
“MINimum”, “MAXimum” or “DEFault” can also be used here. The
default offset is 0.0 V for all functions.
