Chapter 4 Remote Interface ReferenceOutput Configuration CommandsOutput Configuration CommandsSee also “Output Configuration,” starting on page 55 in chapter 3.This section describes the low-level commands used to program thefunction generator. Although the APPLy command provides the moststraightforward method to program the function generator, the low-levelcommands give you more flexibility to change individual parameters.FUNCtion:SHAPe {SINusoid|SQUare|TRIangle|RAMP|NOISe|DC|USER}Select the output function. The selected waveform is output using thepreviously selected frequency, amplitude, and dc offset settings. If youselect “USER”, the function generator outputs the arbitrary waveformcurrently selected by the FUNC:USER command. The default is SIN.[ Stored in volatile memory ]œ The following matrix shows which output functions are allowed witheach modulation mode. Each “X” indicates a valid combination. If youchange to a function that is not allowed with the selected modulation,the modulation mode is turned off.4SineSquareTriangleRampNoiseArbAM CarrierAM Modulating WaveFM CarrierFM Modulating WaveFSK ModulationBurst ModulationFrequency SweepXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXFUNCtion:SHAPe?Query the output function.
