Program Comments
The following comments give additional details on the program examples in
this chapter.
Reference
Oscillator Sources
•
The
SINusoid
,
SQUare
,
TRIangle
, and
RAMP
functions can use any
of the Reference Oscillator Sources. The sources, selected by
[SOURce:]ROSCillator:SOURce
, are:
INTernal
- 42.94967296 MHz (power-on value)
EXTernal
- User provided value (the front panel “ Aux In” BNC)
•
If using the
EXTernal
reference oscillator source, enter the source
frequency to the AFG using
[SOURce:]ROSCillator:FREQuency:EXTernal <
frequency
>
.
Output Load
Comments
•
For correct output amplitude values, the load applied to the AFG
“ Signal Output” terminals must be the same value as the selected
AFG output impedance value.
•
To output to an open circuit, execute
OUTPut:LOAD INFinity
or
9.9E+37
. The HP E1340A then outputs the correct amplitude and
offset for an open circuit. The amplitude and offset range are
doubled while resolution worsens by a factor of 2.
Output Units
Comments
•
The selected unit type can be overridden by sending a unit suffix
with the amplitude command. For example, if the selected unit is
VPP, sending:
[SOURce:]VOLTage[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] 5V
changes the unit type to volts (i.e.,
V
) for that command. However,
the default unit type remains in effect for subsequent amplitude
commands that are sent without the unit suffix.
•
The
V
(volts) suffix and
VPK
(volts peak) suffix generate the same
amplitude values for all time varying waveforms like
SINusoid
,
SQUare
,
TRIangle
, and
RAMPS
.
•
The default unit type only applies for amplitudes and not for offsets.
The unit for offsets must always be specified in “
V
” for volts. For
example, executing:
[SOURce:]VOLTage:OFFSet .1VPP
causes an error. To prevent the error, execute either:
[SOURce:]VOLTage:OFFSet 0.1
or
[SOURce]:VOLTage:OFFSet 0.1V
