:SOURce:FUNCtion Commands
[:SOURce[]]:FUNCtion:ARBitrary:MODE
Syntax [:SOURce[]]:FUNCtion:ARBitrary:MODE {FREQ|SRATe}
[:SOURce[]]:FUNCtion:ARBitrary:MODE?
Description Set the arbitrary waveform output mode of the specified channel to frequency
(FERQ) or sample rate (SRATe) output mode.
Query the arbitrary waveform output mode of the specified channel.
Parameter Name Type Range Default
[] Discrete 1|2 1
{FERQ|SRATe} Discrete FREQ|SRATe FERQ
Explanation  DG1000Z supports two output modes: frequency output mode and sample
rate output mode.
 In the frequency output mode, users can set the output frequency or period of
the arbitrary waveform but cannot set the sample rate. The instrument
outputs the arbitrary waveform made up of certain points selected according
to the current output frequency.
 In the sample rate output mode, users can set the sample rate (namely
number of points outputted per second) but cannot set the frequency or
period. The instrument outputs the arbitrary waveform point by point
according to the current sample rate.
 When [:SOURce[]] or [] is omitted, the system sets the related
parameters of CH1 by default.
Return Format The query returns FERQ or SRATE.
Example :SOUR1:FUNC:ARB:MODE FREQ /*Set the arbitrary waveform output mode of
CH1 to frequency output*/
:SOUR1:FUNC:ARB:MODE? /*Query the arbitrary waveform output mode
of CH1 and the query returns FERQ*/
