3) protect an area of waveform memory;
4) set the state of the automatic update and increment features;
5) update the waveform.
The following shows the structure of the ARBitrary subsystem:
:ARBitrary
:PRATe <numeric value>
:ADDRess <numeric value>
:DATA <numeric value>|<arbitrary block>
:DRAW <numeric value>,<numeric value>
:PREDefined <shape>,<start>,<address>,<length>,<scale>
:STARt <numeric value>
:LENGth <numeric value>
:SAVe
Point Rate
ARBitrary:PRATe <point rate>
This command is used to set the point rate. It is coupled with the frequency of the waveform by the relation:
Frequency = 1/(Point Rate * Wavelength)
Thus changing the point rate will result in a change in frequency.
Arguments
Type:
Numeric
Units:
s, ms, us, ns
Range:
8ns to 100s
Rounding:
to 4 digits
Command Type:
Setting or Query
Setting
Syntax:
:ARBitrary:PRATe<ws><point rate>[units]
:ARBitrary:PRATe<ws>MINimum|MAXimum
Examples:
:ARB:PRAT 100NS
Query
Syntax:
:ARBitrary:PRATe?[<ws>MINimum|MAXimum]
Response:
NR3
Note: You can alternately use the RATE command.
Address
:ARBitrary:ADDRess <address>
This command sets the current address of the waveform. It is used to determine to where arbitrary data are to
be written.
