RAMP:DELay?

Response and default

The 3155 returns the present delay value. Default value is 0.

RAMP:TRANsition<rise>

Purpose

This command programs ramp transition from low to high of the standard ramp waveform. This command
has no affect on arbitrary waveforms.

•

<rise> sets the rise time parameter

Parameter type

Numeric

Parameter range

<rise>

0 to 99.9 in units of percent

RAMP:TRANsition?

Response and default

The 3155 returns the present rise time value. Default value is 60.

RAMP:TRANsition:TRAiling<fall>

Purpose

This command programs ramp transition from high to low of the standard ramp waveform. This command
has no affect on arbitrary waveforms.

•

<fall> sets the fall time parameter

Parameter type

Numeric

Parameter range

<fall>

0 to 99.9 in units of percent

RAMP:TRANsition:TRAiling?

Response and default

The 3155 returns the present fall time value. Default value is 30.

SINC:NCYCle<N_cycles>

Purpose

This command programs the number of “0-crossings” of the standard SINC pulse waveform. This command
has no affect on arbitrary waveforms.

•

<N_cycle> sets the number of zero-crossings parameter

Parameter type

Numeric (integer only)

Parameter range

<N_cycle>

4 to 100 zero crossings
