User Manual 3162A/B
Using The Instrument 3-14
queries the reference oscillator source and returns either CLK10, EXT or TCXO.
Programming the
Output Amplitude
and Offset
Use the following command to program the peak-to-peak amplitude of the
generated waveform:
VOLTage {<amplitude>|MINimum|MAXimum}.
MIN selects the smallest possible amplitude. MAX selects the largest possible
amplitude. The default amplitude is 2.00V (into 50
Ω
).
The query:
VOLTage?
queries the output amplitude and returns a value in volts.
The command:
VOLTage:OFFSet <offset>
sets the offset. The default offset is 0V.
The query:
VOLTage:OFFSet?
queries the output offset and returns a value in volts.
Selecting the Filter
Use the following command to activate the filter:
OUTPut:FILTer { OFF | ON}
The 3162B has a seven-pole, built-in 150MHz filter, with elliptical characteristic
and very sharp cutoff frequency. This filter is used for generating the sine
waveforms and, when in other output functions, can be used for other filtering
tasks. ON enables the filter. The default filter state setting is OFF.
