Rigol DG4000 Series

Parameter Type


The command parameters introduced in this manual include 6 types: Bool,
Keyword, Integer, Consecutive Real Number, Discrete and ASCII Character
String.

Bool
The parameter could be "ON" or "OFF". For example,
:DISPlay:SAVer[:STATe] ON|OFF

Keyword
The parameter could be any of the values listed. For example,
[:SOURce<n>]:BURSt:GATE:POLarity NORMal|INVerted
The parameter could be "NORMal" or "INVerted".

Integer
Unless otherwise noted, the parameter can be any integer within the effective
value range. Note that do not set the parameter to a decimal, otherwise errors
will occur. For example,
:OUTPut[<n>]:LOAD <ohms>|INFinity|MINimum|MAXimum
<ohms> can be set to any integer between 1 and 10000.

Consecutive Real Number
The parameter could be any value within the effective value range according to
the accuracy requirement (the default accuracy contains up to 6 digits after the
decimal points). For example,
[:SOURce<n>]:MOD:AM[:DEPTh] <depth>|MINimum|MAXimum
<depth> can be set to any real number between 0 and 120.

Discrete
The parameter could only be one of the specified values and these values are
discontinuous. For example,
[:SOURce<n>]:MOD[:STATe] ON|OFF
<n> could only be set to 1 or 2.

ASCII Character String
The parameter should be the combinations of ASCII characters. For example,
:MMEMory:MDIRectory <dir_name>
<dir_name> is a character string.

Explanation: in DG4000 command system, some commands contain the
MAXimum and MINimum parameters. For example,
[:SOURce<n>]:MOD:ASKey:AMPLitude <amplitude>|MINimum|MAXimum
[:SOURce<n>]:MOD:ASKey:AMPLitude? [MINimum|MAXimum]
