3 APPLy Commands
32 U2761A Programmer’s Reference
Using the APPLy Command
The APPLy command provides the most straightforward method to
program the U2761A over the remote interface. You can select the
function, frequency, amplitude, and offset all in one command as shown in
the syntax statement below:
APPLy:<function> [<frequency> [,<amplitude> [,<offset>] ]]
Due to the use of optional parameters in the APPLy commands (enclosed
in square brackets), you must specify the frequency to use the amplitude
parameter, and you must specify both frequency and amplitude to use the
offset parameter. You cannot specify an amplitude or offset without
specifying a frequency.
The APPLy command performs additional operations as follows:
• Turns off any modulation or sweep mode currently enabled and places
the U2761A in the continuous waveform mode.
• Turns on the output connector (OUTPut[:STATe] command) but does
not change the output termination setting (OUTPut:LOAD command).
• For Square waveforms, the command overrides the current duty cycle
setting and automatically sets to the default value of 50%
([SOURce:]FUNCtion:SQUare:DCYCle command).
• For Ramp waveforms, the command overrides the current symmetry
setting and automatically sets to the default value of 100%
([SOURce:]FUNCtion:RAMP:SYMMetry command).
