1. Use the SOURce[1]:FUNCtion USER

command to output the arbitrary waveform
currently selected in memory.

2. Use the APPLy command to select frequency,

amplitude and DC offset. Alternatively, the
FUNC, FREQ, AMPL, and DCO commands
can be used.

3. Waveform data (4k points per waveform) can

be downloaded into volatile memory using
the DATA:DAC command. Binary integer or
decimal integer values in the range of ± 511
can be used.

4. The waveform rate is the product of the

number of points in the waveform and the
waveform frequency.

Rate = Frequency × # points

Range:

Rate:

0.1Hz ~ 20MHz

Frequency:

0.1Hz ~ 10MHz

# points:

2~4096
