APPLy:SQUare <freq>,<ampl>,<offs>,<dcycle>(?)
HS Syntax: 0303D
<float>,<float,<float>,<float>(?)
Description
This command changes the waveform function to standard square and programs the frequency, amplitude,
offset, and duty cycle simultaneously. This command affects the output regardless of the current output
function. For example, if the 3152B is in FM mode, the 3152B will stop generating FM and will revert to the
standard square waveform with parametric values as specified by this command.

Type
Default Description
<freq>
10e-3 to
100e6
Numeric
1e6
Programs the frequency of the standard square
waveform in units of Hz.
<ampl>
10e-3 to
16
Numeric
5
Programs the amplitude of the standard square
waveform in units of Volts.
<offs>
-7.992 to
7.992
Numeric
0
Programs the offset of the standard square waveform in
units of Volts.
<dcycle>
0 to 99.99 Numeric
50
Programs the duty cycle of the standard square
waveform in units of percent.
Response
The 3152B returns the current frequency, amplitude, offset, and duty cycle settings as in the following
example: 1e6,5,0,50.
APPLy:PULSe <freq>,<ampl>,<offs>,<del>,<wid>,<lee>,<tre>(?)
HS Syntax: 0304G
<float>,<float,<float>,<float>,<float,<float>,<float>(?)
Description
This command changes the waveform function to standard pulse and programs the frequency, amplitude,
offset, delay time, pulse width and leading and trailing edges simultaneously. This command affects the output
regardless of the current output function. For example, if you generate arbitrary waveforms, the 3152B will
stop generating arbitrary waveforms, will revert to the standard pulse waveform and will update the pulse
parameters, as specified by this command.
