This command sets the peak-to-peak height of the pulse.
Usage
istat = int pgu_height(int instr_id, double height);
instr_id
height
Details
This command returns a 0 if executed without error; a negative number indicates an error.
The pulse height must be greater than -20 V and less than 20 V.
Example
pgu_height(PGU2, 2)
Sets the height of the pulse on PGU2 to 2 V.
