Command Syntax
[SOURce:]WAVEFORM:SMOOTHen <NUMBER>
Description
This command Sets the smoothing filter size that is applied to the
waveform, in sample counts. A value of 1 makes the filter have no
effect (Disabled) and the maximum value is 101. Only odd numbers
are considered. The type of filter used is a moving-average-filter, or
MAF.
The smoothing filter is used to reduce slew rates of waveform edges.
This is useful in certain applications to make the waveform
reproduction more consistent and reduce potential distortion due to
the sampling rate of the controller, especially when reproducing
waveforms at high frequency.

[SOURce:]WAVEFORM#:NAME
Description
Set waveform for selected phase to the waveform name passed as a
parameter. If no waveform name parameter is specified, the query
format returns the name of the selected waveform. See
WAVEFORM#[:NAME] command.
Parameters
1 – 16

Command Syntax
[SOURce:]WAVEFORM#:ALIAS
Description
Analogous to the WAVEFORM#[:NAME] command but in place of the
waveform name, the waveform description is passed as a quoted
string.
Parameters
Waveform description as quoted string.
Parameter Format
<cr>
Example
WAVEFORM1:NAME:BYALIAS “Triangle”
Query Format
[SOURce:]WAVEFORM#:ALIAS?
Description
Analogous to the WAVEFORM#[:NAME]? query command but in
place of the waveform name, the alias is returned as a string.
