Units specifying Arbitrary Point Rate or Wavelength, since the MAXimum or MINimum value is calculated at the
time the command is parsed.
2) The MIN and MAX arguments refer to currently settable minimum or maximum.
3) FIXed is alias for CW.
4.13.1.2 Amplitude
:SOURce:VOLTage[:AMPLitude]
The amplitude command is used to set the peak-to-peak amplitude of the output waveform. Note that the amplitude and the
offset are limited by the relation
Peak Amplitude + |Offset| ≤ 5V
Arguments
Type:
Numeric
Units:
V, mV,
VPP, mVPP
Range:
10mV to 10V
Rounding:
1mV from 10mV to 999mV. 10mV from 1V to 10V.
Command Type: Setting or Query
Setting
Syntax:
[:SOURce]:VOLTage:AMPLitude
[:SOURce]:VOLTage:AMPLitude
Examples: :VOLT:AMPL 2.5
:VOLT:AMPL 2.5V
:VOLT:AMPL MAX
Query
Syntax:
[:SOURce]:VOLTage:AMPLitude?
[
Examples:
:VOLT:AMPL?
:VOLT:AMPL? MAX
Response:
NR2
Considerations:
1) The MAXimum amplitude is dependent on the offset.
2) The MAX and MIN arguments should not be used in a program message containing an OFFSet command, since
these values are evaluated during parsing, based on the current value of the offset.
4.13.1.3 Offset
:SOURce:VOLTage:OFFSet
The offset command is used to set the DC offset of the output waveform. Note that the amplitude and the offset are limited by
the relation
Peak Amplitude + |Offset| ≤ 5V
Arguments
Type:
Numeric
Units:
V, mV
Range:
10mV to 4.99V
Rounding:
to 10mV
Command Type: Setting or Query
Setting
Syntax:
[:SOURce]:VOLTage:OFFSet
[:SOURce]:VOLTage:OFFSet
Examples:
:VOLT:OFFS 2.5
