Argument Extension Data returned Definition
0.00 to 27.00
PZM A, B, C 0 to 359.9 Measured phase B and C output phase angle
relative to A. A is always 0.0
REG 0 to 15 Contents of Reg Talk contents of register
RNG None 0 to 270.0 Programmed range and limit
SRQ None 0, 1 or 2 Programmed SRQ status
VLT A, B, C 0.0 to 400.0 Measured output voltage
THD A, B, C 0 to 20 Programmed total harmonic distortion
NOTE: If the A, B or C Extension is not sent with the argument, all phases will be reported

8.2.11 Examples - APE Programming Commands
This section provides APE syntax examples and programming techniques. These examples are
provided for reference only and are shown in no specific order.
To program Amplitude (AMP)
The AMP header with the optional A, B or C extension is used to identify the amplitude command.
The argument is a numeric data field from 0.0 to the limit set by the RNG value. An attempt to
program a value higher than this value will generate an error and a SRQ on the GPIB.
The following ASCII strings will program the voltage given in the left column:
To Set: Issue:
A, B, C 0.0 volts AMP0 or AMPA0AMPB0AMPC0
A, B, C 10.5 volts AMP10.5 or AMP1.05E1 or AMP105E-1
A, B, C 100 volts AMP100 or AMP100.0 or AMP1E2
A, B = 110.5, C = 115 AMPA110.5AMPB110.5AMPC115
or AMP110.5AMPC115
To program Frequency (FRQ)
The FRQ header is used to identify the following numeric data as frequency. The following string
will program the frequency to 60.56 Hz.
FRQ 60.56
To program Phase angle (PHZ)
The PHZ header with the optional A, B or C extension is used to identify the following numeric
data as phase. The PHZ header sent with no extension will program the B and C outputs in
phase with phase A. The phase of the A output will lead the EXT SNC signal by the value
programmed. The following example will program the phase A output to 90 degrees relative to an
external sync signal when operating in the EXT SNC mode:
PHZA 90
The following example will program phase B to 240.5 degrees and phase C to 119.3 degrees
leading phase A.
PHZB 240.5 PHZ C 119.3
