Chapter 4 Remote Interface ReferenceUsing the APPLy CommandUsing the APPLy CommandSee also “Output Configuration,” starting on page 55 in chapter 3.The APPLy command provides the most straightforward method toprogram the function generator over the remote interface. You canselect the function, frequency, amplitude, and offset all in one command.For example, the following statement outputs a 3 Vpp sine wave at5 kHz with a -2.5 volt offset using APPLy:"APPL:SIN 5 KHZ, 3.0 VPP, -2.5 V"The syntax statements for the APPLy command are shown on page 143.Output Frequencyœ For the frequency parameter of the APPLy command, the outputfrequency range depends on the function currently selected.You can substitute “MINimum”, “MAXimum”, or “DEFault” in place ofa specific value for the frequency parameter. MIN selects the lowestfrequency allowed for the selected function. MAX selects the highestfrequency allowed. The default frequency for all functions is 1 kHz.FunctionSineSquareRampTriangleBuilt-In Arbs 1Minimum Frequency100 mHz100 mHz100 mHz100 mHz100 mHzMaximum Frequency15 MHz15 MHz100 kHz100 kHz5 MHz1 There are five built-in arbitrary waveforms stored in non-volatile memory:sinc, negative ramp, exponential rise, exponential fall, and cardiac.138
