waveform in units of Volts.
<offs>
-7.992 to
7.992
Numeric
0
Programs the offset of the standard exponential
waveform in units of Volts.
<exp>
-100 to
100
Integer
100
Programs the exponent of the standard exponential
waveform.
Response
The 3152B returns the current frequency, amplitude, offset and exponent settings similar to the following
example: 1e6,5,0,100.
APPLy:DC <ampl>(?)
HS Syntax: 0308A
<float>(?)
Description
This command changes the waveform function to standard DC and programs the amplitude. This command
affects the output regardless of the current output function. For example, if the 3152B is in FM mode, the
3152B will stop generating FM and will revert to the standard DC waveform with parametric values as
specified by this command.

Default Description
<dc_ampl>
-100 to
100
Numeric
100
Programs the amplitude of the standard dc waveform in
units of percent.
Response
The 3152B returns the current amplitude setting of DC as in the following example: 100.
APPLy:USER <seg_#><sclk>,<ampl>,<offs>(?)
HS Syntax: 0309D
<integer>,<float>,<float,<float> (?)
Description
This command changes the waveform function to arbitrary and programs the active segment, sample clock,,
amplitude, and offset simultaneously. This command affects the output regardless of the current output
function. For example, if the 3152B is in standard waveform mode, the 3152B automatically switches to
arbitrary waveform mode and updates the arbitrary waveform parameters as specified by this command.

Default Description
<seg_#>
1 to 10k
Integer
1
Selects the segment number of the active arbitrary
waveform.
<sclk>
10e-6 to
250e6
Numeric
1e6
Programs the sample clock frequency of the arbitrary
waveform in units of S/s.
<ampl>
10e-3 to
16
Numeric
5
Programs the amplitude of the arbitrary waveform in
units of Volts.
<offs>
-7.992 to
7.992
Numeric
0
Programs the offset of the arbitrary waveform in units of
Volts.
Response
The 3152B returns the current segment number, sample clock, amplitude, and offset settings as in the
following example: 1,1e6,5,0.
