Response
The 3152B measures and returns the current frequency applied to the trig/pll input. If no signal is applied to
the trigger input, the response will be 0. The returned value will be in scientific notation(for example: 100mHz
would be returned as 100e-3.
FREQuency {<freq>|MINimum|MAXimum}(?)
HS Syntax: 0400A<float>(?)
Description
Modifies the frequency of the standard waveform and is specified in units of Hertz (Hz). It has no affect on
arbitrary waveforms.

Description
<freq>
100e-6 to
100e6
Numeric
1e6
Sets the frequency of the standard waveform in units of
Hz. The frequency command can be used with
resolutions up to 14 digits.
<MINimum>
Discrete
Sets the frequency of the standard waveform at the
lowest possible frequency (100e-6).
<MAXimum>
Discrete
Sets the frequency of the standard waveform to the
highest possible frequency (100e6).
Response
The 3152B returns the current frequency value. The returned value will be in scientific notation(for example:
100mHz would be returned as 100e-3 – positive numbers are unsigned).
FREQuency:RASTer {<sclk>|MINimum|MAXimum}(?)
HS Syntax: 0410A<float>(?)
Description
Modifies the sample clock frequency of the arbitrary waveform in units of samples per second. It has no affect
on standard waveforms.

Description
<sclk>
100e-3 to
250e6
Numeric
1e6
Sets the sample clock frequency of the arbitrary and
sequenced waveform in units of samples per second.
The sample clock can be programmed with a resolution
of up to 14 digits.
<MINimum>
Discrete
Sets the sample clock frequency to the lowest possible
frequency (100e-3).
<MAXimum>
Discrete
Sets the frequency of the standard waveform to the
highest possible frequency (250e6).
