BTWV – Burst Wave Command
DESCRIPTION
Sets the waveform type to a Burst waveform or sets specific Burst waveform parameters.
Note: The carrier waveform cannot be set to Noise when using a Burst waveform set to NCycle.
COMMAND SYNTAX
<channel>: BursTWaVe <parameter>
<channel>:= {C1,C2}
<parameter>:= {A parameter from the following table.}
Parameters
Value
Description
STATE
<state>
Sets the instrument to a Burst waveform type or retrieves Burst waveform
parameters.
PRD
<period>
This parameter sets the period of the waveform and is only applicable when
the trigger source is INT, yet not applicable when the carrier waveform is a
Noise or gated Burst waveform.
STPS
<start phase>
Not applicable to Noise or Pulse carrier waveforms, this parameter sets the
Burst waveform’s start phase value.
GATE_NCYC
<gate ncycle>
Not applicable to Noise carrier waveforms, this parameter allows you to
configure the Burst waveform as either Gated or NCycle.
TRSR
<trigger>
Only applicable to a Burst carrier waveform with NCycle selected, this
parameter sets the Burst waveform trigger source.
DLAY
<delay>
Only applicable to a Burst carrier waveform with NCycle selected, this
parameter sets a Burst waveform’s delay value.
PLRT
<polarity>
Only applicable for gated Burst carrier waveforms, this parameter sets the
basic waveform’s polarity value.
TRMD
<trig mode>
Only applicable to a Burst carrier waveform with NCycle selected, this
parameter sets the trigger mode (INT, EXT, MAN) value.
EDGE
<edge>
Only applicable to a Burst carrier waveform with NCycle selected, this
parameter sets a Burst waveform’s trigger mode (slope; positive, negative, or
OFF) value.
TIME
<cycle time>
Only applicable to a Burst carrier waveform with NCycle selected, this
parameter sets a Burst waveform’s cycle time value.
MTRIG
Only applicable to a Burst carrier waveform, with NCycle selected, and the
trigger source set to MAN, this parameter manually triggers the WaveStation.
CARR, WVTP
<wave type>
Sets the carrier waveform type value.
CARR, FRQ
<frequency>
Sets the carrier waveform frequency value.
CARR, AMP
<amplifier>
Sets the carrier waveform amplification value.
CARR, OFST
<offset>
Sets the carrier waveform offset value.
CARR, SYM
<symmetry>
Sets the carrier waveform symmetry value.
CARR, DUTY
<duty>
Only applying to Square carrier waveforms, this parameter sets the duty cycle
value.
CARR, PHSE
<phase>
Sets the carrier waveform phase value.
CARR, DLY
<carrier
delay>
Only applicable when the carrier waveform is set to Pulse, this parameter sets
the delay value.
CARR, VAR
<variance>
Only applicable when the carrier waveform is set to Noise, this parameter sets
the variance.
