Generating Standard Waveforms with the HP E1340A
This program outputs a negative going Ramp at 10 kHz, 4 V output level,
and +1 V offset. The commands are:
1. Reset the AFG -
*RST
The
command aborts any waveform output, selects the sinusoid
*RST
function, selects the 42.9 MHz reference oscillator source, 10 kHz
frequency, arm start immediate, 0 V offset, and
0 V output.
2. Set the Frequency -
[SOURce:]FREQuency[:FIXed] <
This command specifies the frequency. Refer to Appendix B for the
frequency limits.
3. Select the Function -
[SOURce:]FUNCtion[:SHAPe] RAMP
This command selects the
4. Select the Ramp Polarity -
[SOURce:]RAMP:POLarity INVerted
This command selects the polarity of the RAMP wave. Use
for the initial voltage to go positive; use
voltage to go negative.
5. Set the Amplitude -
[SOURce:]VOLTage[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <
This command specifies the amplitude. Refer to the section called
" Selecting the Amplitude Levels and Output Units" on page 50 for
more information.
