Parameters
Name Type Default Description
FIXed Discrete FIX Selects the standard waveform shapes. There is an
array of waveforms that is built into the program. You
can find these waveform shapes in the standard
waveforms section.
USER Discrete Selects the arbitrary waveform shapes. Arbitrary
waveforms must be loaded to the 5251 memory
before they can be replayed. You can find
information on arbitrary waveforms in the appropriate
sections in this manual.
SEQuenced Discrete Selects the sequenced waveform output. To generate
a sequence, you must first download waveform
coordinates to different segments and then build a
sequence table to generate a complex waveform that
is using these segments.
MODulated Discrete Selects the modulated waveforms. There is an array
of built-in modulation schemes. However, you can
also build custom modulation using the arbitrary
function.
COUNter Discrete Selects the counter/timer auxiliary function. Note that
when you select this function, all waveform
generation of the 5251 are purged and the 5251 is
transformed to behave as if it was a stand-alone
counter/timer. The counter/timer functions and
parameters can be programmed using the auxiliary
commands.
PULSe Discrete Selects the digital pulse generator auxiliary function.
Note that when you select this function, all waveform
generation of the 5251 are purged and the 5251 is
transformed to behave as if it was a stand-alone
pulse generator. The digital pulse generator functions
and parameters can be programmed using the
auxiliary commands.
HALFcycle Discrete Selects the half cycle auxiliary function. Note that
when you select this function, all waveform
generation of the 5251 are purged and the 5251 is
transformed to behave as if it was a stand-alone half
cycle generator. The half cycle generator functions
and parameters can be programmed using the
auxiliary commands.
Response
The 5251 will return FIX, USER, SEQ, MOD, COUN, PULS or HALF depending on the present 5251
setting.
