Simplified Programming Overview
Using the APPLy Command
The APPLy command provides the most straightforward
method to program the function generator over the remote
interface. For e xample, th e following command st ring sent
from your computer will output a 3 Vpp sine wave at 5 kHz
with a -2.5 volt offset.
APPL:SIN 5.0E+3, 3.0, -2.5
Using the Low-Level Commands
Although the APPLy command provides the most straightforward method to program the function generator, the
low-level commands give you more flexibility to change
individual parameters. For example, the following
command strings sent from your computer will output
a 3 Vpp sine wave at 5 kHz with a -2.5 volt offset.
FUNC SIN
FREQ 5000
VOLT 3.0
VOLT:OFFS -2.5
Reading a Query Response
Only the query commands (commands that end with “?”)
will instruct the functi on generator to send a response
message. Queries return internal instrument settings.
For example, the following command string sent from
your computer will read the function generator’s error
queue and retrieve the response from the most recent error
SYST:ERR?
enter statement
.
Selecting a Trigger Source
When Sweep or Burst is enabled, the function generator
will accept an immediate internal trigger, a hardware
trigger from the rear-panel Trig In connector, a manual
trigger from the key, or a software (bus) trigger.
By default, the internal trigger source is selected. If you
want to use an external or a software trigger source,
you must first sele ct that source. For example, the
following command strings sent from your computer will
output a 3-cycle burst each time the rear-panel Trig In
connector receives the rising edge of a TTL pulse.
BURS:NCYC 3
TRIG:SLOP POS
TRIG:SOUR EXT
BURS:STAT ON
