Wave-Generator-Related Commands and Parameters
Command Description Notes
CTO Set Configuration Of
Trigger Output
Activates the Generator Trigger output mode which is
required for the triggerline actions set with TWS.
DDL? Get DDL Table Values Reads the current content of the DDL table(s). DDL
initialization and usage are started by the wave
generator start command (WGO).
DRR? Get Recorded Data Values Reads the last recorded data. Data recording is
triggered by the WGO and WGR commands (among
others).
GWD? Get Wave Table Data Should be used to check the waveform before the
wave generator output is started.
TWC Clear All Wave Related
Triggers
Clears only the TWS settings, but not the CTO settings.
TWG? Get Number Of Wave
Generators
Number of wave generators = number of axes
TWS Set TriggerLine Action To
Waveform Point
In addition, the CTO command must be used to
activate the Generator Trigger mode for the desired
digital output line.
TWS? Get Trigger Line Action At
Waveform Point
WAV Set Waveform Definition A waveform must be defined before the wave
generator output can be started.
WAV? Get Waveform Definition Reads the current wave table length.
Clears the wave table content, but not the WSL and
WOS settings.
Generator Cycles
If WGC is not used, the wave generator must be
stopped with WGO, #24 or STP.
Generator Cycles
WGO Set Wave Generator
Start/Stop Mode
The WGO command starts the wave generator output.
It provides several start options, e.g. "Start wave
generator output triggered by external signal", "Use
and reinitialize DDL" or "Use DDL".
WGO? Get Wave Generator
Start/Stop Mode
Gets the last commanded start options, but not the
activation status (use #9 instead)
WGR Starts Recording in Sync
with Wave Generator
Restarts data recording as long as a wave generator is
running.
WOS Set Wave Generator
Output Offset
Sets the value of the Wave Offset parameter, ID
0x1300010b, in volatile memory.
WOS? Get Wave Generator
Output Offset
Gets the value of the Wave Offset parameter, ID
0x1300010b, from volatile memory.
