Note: For model 4079, nothing changes in the commands above to control channel 1. But for channel 2,
change :SOURce to :SOUR2. For example, to change channel 2 to SINE function, send the command:
SOUR2:FUNC SIN.
4.13.1.1 Frequency
:SOURce:FREQuency <frequency>
The frequency command controls the frequency of the output waveform.
Arguments
Type: Numeric.
Units: MHz, KHz, Hz (default)
Range: Dependent on the Point Rate and Wavelength.
Fmax = 1/(8nS * Wavelength)
Fmin = 1/(100S * Wavelength)
Rounding: The value is rounded to 4 digits.
Command Type: Setting or Query
Setting
Syntax: [:SOURce]:FREQuency[:CW]<ws><frequency>[units]
[:SOURce]:FREQuency<ws>MINimum|MAXimum
Examples:
:FREQ 5KHZ
:FREQ 5E3
:FREQ MAXIMUM
:FREQ MIN
Query
Syntax: [:SOURce]:FREQuency[:CW]?[<ws>MAXimum|MINimum]
Examples: :FREQ?
:FREQ? MAX
Response: NR3
Considerations:
1) The MIN | MAX arguments should be used only in a Program Message that does NOT contain
Program Message Units specifying Arbitrary Point Rate or Wavelength, since the MAXimum or
MINimum value is calculated at the time the command is parsed.
2) The MIN and MAX arguments refer to currently settable minimum or maximum.
3) FIXed is alias for CW.
