Comments • The <mode> parameter has the following meanings:
– CW or FIXed: Selects single-frequency mode. [SOURce:]FREQuency[1][:CW |
:FIXed]
selects the sample rate or waveform frequency. CW and FIXed are
equivalent.
– FSKey: Selects frequency shift keying mode. [SOURce:]FREQuency[1]:FSKey
and the front panel’s “Stop Trig/FSK/Gate In” BNC select the two sample rate
or waveform frequencies.
– LIST: Selects frequency list mode. [SOURce:]LIST2:FREQuency sets the
sample rate or waveform frequencies.
– SWEep: Selects frequency sweep mode. [SOURce:]FREQuency[1]:CENTer,
SPAN, STARt and STOP commands set the sample or waveform frequency
range. The
[SOURce:]SWEep, ARM:SWEep, and TRIGger:SWEep subsystems
control the sweep.
