Features and Functions

This chapter makes it easy to look up all the details about a particular
feature of the function generator. It covers both front panel and remote
interface operation. You may want to read chapter 2, "Front-Panel Menu
Operation" first. See chapter 4, "Remote Interface Reference" for a
detailed discussion of the syntax of the SCPI commands to program the
function generator. This chapter is divided into the following sections:
• Output Configuration, on page 55
• Pulse Waveforms, on page 70
• Amplitude Modulation (AM), on page 74
• Frequency Modulation (FM), on page 79
• Phase Modulation (PM), on page 85
• Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK) Modulation, on page 89
• Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), on page 93
• Frequency Sweep, on page 99
• Burst Mode, on page 106
• Triggering, on page 115
• Arbitrary Waveforms, on page 120
• System-Related Operations, on page 126
• Remote Interface Configuration, on page 135
• External Timebase Reference (Option 001), on page 144
• Calibration Overview, on page 146
• Factory Default Settings, on page 150
Throughout this manual "default" states and values are identified. These
are the power-on default states provided you have not enabled the
power-down recall mode (see "Instrument State Storage" on page 126).
Throughout this manual, the following conventions are used for
SCPI command syntax for remote interface programming:
• Square brackets ( [ ] ) indicate optional keywords or parameters.
• Braces ( { } ) enclose parameters within a command string.
• Triangle brackets ( < > ) enclose parameters for which you must
substitute a value.
• A vertical bar ( | ) separates multiple parameter choices.
