Using The Instrument 3-4
Alternatively, if just the first parameters need to be changed, omit
the commas. The other parameters will be set to the power-up
default values:
APPL:SQU 4e6,2
Queries can also be made on all parameters associated with a
standard function using the APPL: <function_shape>? query. For
example, if the synthesizer was programmed using the above
APPLy:SQU command, query the square wave parameters using
the following query:
APPL:SQU?
The synthesizer returns a string that contains all the parameters
associated with the square function similar to the following string:
“1.6,2.000,0.000,50"
The command:
APPLy:SINusoid {<frequency>,<amplitude>,<offset>,
<phase>,<power>}
programs the synthesizer to output a sine waveform with frequency,
amplitude, offset, start phase and power parameters. Parameters
are not optional if the above APPLy command is used. Include all
other parameters in the command. The default settings for these
functions are: 1 MHz, 5 Vp-p, 0 V, 0 and 1.
The command:
APPLy:TRIangle {<frequency>,<amplitude>,<offset>,
<phase>,<power>}
programs the synthesizer to output a triangle waveform with
frequency, amplitude, offset, start phase, and power parameters.
The default settings for these functions are: 1 MHz, 5 Vp-p, 0 V, 0
and 1.
The command:
APPLy:SQUare {<frequency>,<amplitude>,<offset>,
<duty_cycle>}
programs the synthesizer to output a square waveform with
frequency, amplitude, offset and duty cycle parameters. The default
settings for these functions are: 1 MHz, 5 Vp-p, 0 V, and 50%.
The command:
APPLy:PULSe{<frequency>,<amplitude>,<offset>,
<delay>,<high_time>,<rise_time>,<fall_time>}
programs the synthesizer to output a pulse waveform with
frequency, amplitude, offset, delay, rise time, high time and fall time
parameters. The default settings for these functions are: 1 MHz, 5
Vp-p, 0 V, 0%, 10%, 10% and 10%.
