[SOURce[1|2]:]TRACk {ON|OFF|INVerted}
[SOURce[1|2]:]TRACk {ON|OFF|INVerted}
Causes channels 1 and 2 of a two-channel instrument to output the same signal, or an inverted polarity signal.
Parameter
Typical Return
{ON|OFF|INVerted}
ON, OFF, or INV
Set channel 2 to output a signal identical to that of channel 1:
TRACk ON
l
Causes all settings of the named channel to be copied to the other channel with exceptions noted below. This does
include frequency list settings and any arbitrary waveforms loaded in memory.
l
With the INVerted option, the tracking channel's amplitude will be inverted, forming a signal similar to a dif-
ferential output between Channel 1 and Channel 2. DC Offset is not inverted.
l
When TRACk is ON, voltage limits on both channels apply. If voltage limits on either channel would prevent the
other channel's setup from being applied, the instrument will generate a settings conflict error and channel track-
ing will remain OFF.
l
When TRACk is ON, changes to either channel are reflected in both channels. When TRACk is changed from ON or
INV to OFF, the channels will remain in their present setup (frequency, amplitude, and so on), but you may now
change one channel without affecting the other channel.
l
Voltage limits may be adjusted in tracking mode, but cannot be set in violation of the current signal.
l
Turning tracking ON sets
to NONE, turns off
,
, and
.
l
TRACK is not allowed if the internal modulation source for the channel being tracked is the other channel.
l
The
is set to the channel being tracked.
