5. Set the Frequency
[SOURce:]FREQuency[1][:FIXed] <frequency>
This command specifies the frequency. Refer to Table B-3 in
Appendix B for the frequency limits.
6. Select the Function
[SOURce:]FUNCtion[:SHAPe] TRIangle
This command selects the TRIangle function. For the RAMP
function, use the
RAMP parameter instead of the TRIangle parameter.
7. Set the Number of Ramp Points
[SOURce:]RAMP:POINts <number>
This command specifies the number of ramp points. The more points
give better resolution but lower frequency response.
8. Select the Triangle Wave Polarity
[SOURce:]RAMP:POLarity INVerted
This command selects the polarity of the TRIangle/RAMP wave. Use
NORMal for the initial voltage to go positive. Use INVerted for the
initial voltage to go negative.
9. Set the Amplitude
[SOURce:]VOLTage[:LEVel][IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <amplitude>
This command specifies the amplitude. Refer to the section called
“Selecting the Amplitude Levels and Output Units” on page 72 for
more information.
10. Set the Offset
[SOURce:]VOLTage[:LEVel][IMMediate]OFFSet <offset>
This command specifies the offset. Refer to the section called
“Selecting the Amplitude Levels and Output Units” on page 72 for
more information.
11. Initiate the Waveform
INITiate[:IMMediate]
This command generates an immediate output with the arm source set
to
IMMediate. Refer to Chapter 5 for triggering information.
