6. Programming Examples
6.1 Introduction
This chapter contains examples on how to program your AC source. Simple examples show you
how to program:
output functions such as voltage, frequency, and phase
the transient waveform generator
internal and external triggers
measurement functions
user-defined waveforms
the status and protection functions
These examples in this chapter are generic SCPI commands. See chapter 2 for information about
encoding the commands as language strings. Where appropriate, optional commands are shown
for clarity in the examples.
6.2 Programming the Output
Power-on Initialization
When the AC source is first turned on, it wakes up with the output state set OFF. In this state the
output voltage is set to 0. The following commands are given implicitly at power-on:
*RST
*CLS
STATus:PRESet
*SRE 0
*ESE 0
*RST is a convenient way to program all parameters to a known state. Refer to the *RST
command in Section 5 to see how each programmable parameter is set by *RST. Refer to the
*PSC command in Section 5 for more information on the power-on initialization of the *ESE and
the *SRE registers.
Enabling the Output
To enable the output, use the command:
OUTPut ON
AC Voltage and Frequency
The ac rms output voltage is controlled with the VOLTage command. For example, to set the ac
output voltage to 125 volts rms, use:
VOLTage 125
In the three-phase mode, all phases are programmed to 125 volts rms because the
INSTrument:COUPle at *RST is set to ALL.
