Related Commands

FREQ:MODE FREQ:SLEW

FREQuency:MODE

This command determines how the output frequency is controlled during a triggered output transient. The choices are:

FIXed

The output frequency is unaffected by a triggered output transient.

STEP

The output frequency is programmed to the value set by FREQuency:TRIGgered when a

 

triggered transient occurs.

PULSe

The output frequency is changed to the value set by FREQuency:TRIGgered for a duration

 

determined by the pulse commands.

LIST

The output frequency is controlled by the frequency list when a triggered transient occurs.
