[SOUR]:FUNC[:SHAP](?)
<CPD>{DC|SIN|PULS|SQU|IMP|TRI|TRAP|SYMS}
Purpose
Defines the waveshape of the required output. In certain cases this also steers the 9100 towards the required source. This is necessary
to select a 9100 source in a particular group, if the present 9100 source lies outside that group.
For example:
DC Voltage and DC Current are listed below in Group 2. To select either of these when neither of Group 2 is already selected,
then the command
FUNC DC
must be used before selecting Voltage or Current.
For those users who are familiar with local (front panel) operation of the 9100, the relationships between the local Function
selections and the corresponding remote commands are given in the following table:
Notes
:
Group 1
No
FUNC
steering is required. The Thermocouple Temperature source (
1e
) is included in the same group as the other (PRT) Temperature source.
Group 2
Steering command:
FUNC DC
is required. The remote equivalent of the local 'Logic Levels' Function uses the same commands as those for the
main local DC Voltage Function.
Group 3
Steering command:
FUNC {SIN|IMP|TRI|TRAP|SYMS}
is required. All alternative waveshapes shown are available only in this group.
Group 4
Steering command:
FUNC SQU
is required. 'Hz (Frequency)' employs a fixed 50% duty cycle.
Group 5
Steering command:
FUNC PULS
is required. All local equivalents include variable Mark/Period ratio.
N.B.
The groups of
[SOURce]
commands, listed in the table, are not required by SCPI protocol, they have been devised
specially for this description only for clearer explanation.
