Executing Several Waveform Segments

65 Generating Arbitrary Waveforms with the HP E1340A
This program shows how to generate an arbitrary waveform that combines
two different waveform segments. One waveform segment generates a 1 kHz,
5 V sine wave. The other one generates a 1 kHz, 5 Vpeak triangle.
The commands are:
1. Reset the AFG -
*RST
The *RST command aborts waveform output and sets the AFG to a
defined state.
2. Set the Waveform Frequency -
[SOURce:]FREQuency[:CW|FIXed] <
This command sets the repetition rate of the waveform. See
Appendix B for the frequency limits.
3. Select the Arbitrary Waveform Function -
[SOURce:]FUNCtion[:SHAPe] USER
This command selects the arbitrary waveform function. Couple the
command to the previous frequency command.
4. Set the Maximum Output Amplitude -
[SOURce:]VOLTage[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <
This command specifies the maximum output amplitude. The
amplitude must be equal or greater than the maximum voltage value
of the waveform segment. Refer to Appendix B for the amplitude
limits
5. Select the First Waveform Segment -
[SOURce:]LIST[:SEGMent]:SELect A
Use to select the first waveform segment.
