Form
Set & Query
Parameter
Numeric
Parameter suffix
V
with engineering prefixes.
Value coupling
Range coupling
*RST value
1.00 V
Specified limits
100 mVpp to 10.0 Vpp (values are valid from 50
Ω
into 50
Ω
)
Description
Use this command to program the amplitude voltage of the output signal.
Note that to set the output levels in terms of voltage, you first have to
execute the
[:SOURce]:HOLD VOLTage
command to enable the
[:SOURce]:VOLTage
subsystem.
The available voltage range is limited by the combination of:
•
Specified current limits
•
Actual output impedance setting
:OUTPut:IMPedance
•
Actual expected load impedance setting:
:OUTput:IMPedance:EXTernal
Example
To set the amplitude voltage:
High =
Amplitude
2
Low = Offset –
2
Amplitude
:HOLD VOLT
:VOLT 5V
Enable VOLTAGE subsystem
Set OUTPUT amplitude to 5 V
