Square Wave
Characteristics
1. Configure model 3153 to output a square waveform, amplitude of 8 V,
and frequency of 1 MHz. Run *RST and then:
VOLT 8:;FREQ 1e6;:OUTP ON
2. Use INST:SEL 2 or INST:SEL 3 before the above command string to
set channels 2 and 3.
3. Perform Squarewave Characteristics tests using Table 5-4.
