:SOURce:PERiod Command
[:SOURce[]]:PERiod[:FIXed]
Syntax [:SOURce[]]:PERiod[:FIXed] {|MINimum|MAXimum}
[:SOURce[]]:PERiod[:FIXed]? [MINimum|MAXimum]
Description Set the waveform period (basic waveforms and arbitrary waveform) of the specified
channel.
Query the waveform period (basic waveforms and arbitrary waveform) of the
specified channel.
Parameter Name Type Range Default
[] Discrete 1|2 1
Real Refer to the “Explanation” 1ms
Explanation  When [:SOURce[]] or [] is omitted, the system sets the related
parameters of CH1 by default.
 The period and frequency are the reciprocal of each other. For the frequency
ranges of different models and different waveforms of DG1000Z series, refer to
Table 2-1.
 If the period in the command is lower than the corresponding period lower limit,
the system sets the waveform period of the specified channel to the
corresponding period lower limit.
 When the channel waveform type is changed ( [:SOURce[]]:APPLy? ), the
instrument still uses the period if it is valid for the new waveform type; the
instrument displays prompt message and set the period to the period lower limit
of the new waveform type automatically if the period is invalid for the new
waveform type.
Return Format The query returns the waveform period in scientific notation with 7 effective digits, for
example, 1.000000E-01 (the waveform period is 0.1s).
Example :SOUR1:PER 0.1 /*Set the waveform period of CH1 to 0.1s*/
:SOUR1:PER? /*Query the waveform period of CH1 and the query returns
1.000000E-01*/
