1. Turn on PWM modulation using the

SOURce[1]: PWM:STATe ON command.

2. Use the APPLy command to select a pulse

waveform. Alternatively, the FUNC, FREQ,
AMPl, and DCOffs commands can be used to
create a pulse waveform with a designated
frequency, amplitude and offset.

3. Select an internal or external modulation

source using the SOURce[1]:PWM:SOUR
command.

4. Use the SOURce[1]: PWM:INT:FUNC

command to select a sine, square, upramp,
dnramp or triangle modulating waveshape.
For internal sources only.

5. Set the modulating frequency using the

SOURce[1]:PWM:INT:FREQ command. For
internal sources only.

6. Use the SOURce[1]:PWM:DUTY command to

set the duty cycle or Pulse Width.
