3D:MARKer <index>(?)
HS Syntax: 0053A<integer>(?)
Description
Programs where on the 3D profile the 3152B will generate a pulse, designated as 3D marker or index point.
The marker pulse is generated at the SYNC output connector.
Parameters

Default
Description
<index>
1 to 30000 Numeric
(integer only)
1
Programs a marker pulse at an index 3D position.
Response
The 3152B returns the current marker position.
3D:RASTer<3D_freq>(?)
HS Syntax: 0054A<float>(?)
Description
This command sets the sample clock frequency for the 3D modulation profiler. The 3D waveforms must be
created using an external utility and downloaded to the 3D memory before this function can be used.
Parameters
Name
Range
Type
Default
Description
<3D_freq>
1 to 2.5e6 Numeric
1e6
Programs the sample clock frequency of the 3D
modulating waveform in units of S/s.
Response
The 3152B returns the current sample clock of the 3D modulating waveform value.
Digital Pulse
Programming
Use the following commands for programming pulse parameters. The
pulse is created digitally, however, it closely simulates an analog
pulse generator so pulse parameters are programmed just as they
would be programmed on a dedicated pulse generator instrument.
Bear in mind that since this is a digital instrument, there are some
limitations to the pulse design that evolve from the fact that the best
resolution is one sample clock interval and also, keep in mind that the
pulse is created digitally in the arbitrary memory and therefore, its
smallest incremental step has a maximum value limitation as specified
in Appendix A. The digital pulse commands are summarized in Table
5-11.
