Source Subsystem (Function)

This subsystem programs the output function of the ac source.

Subsystem Syntax

[SOURce:]
FUNCtion
[:SHAPe]
[:IMMediate] <shape>	Sets the periodic waveform shape (SIN SQU CSIN <user>)
:MODE <mode>	Sets the waveform shape mode (FIX STEP PULS LIST)
:TRIGgered <shape>	Sets the triggered transient shape (SIN SQU CSIN <table>)

:CSINusoid <n> [THD] Sets the % of peak at which the sinewave clips (or % THD)

FUNCtion

This command selects the shape of the output voltage waveform as follows:

SINusoid A sinewave is output

SQUare A squarewave is output

CSINusoid The output is a clipped sinewave. Both positive and negative peak amplitudes are clipped at a value determined by the FUNCtion:CSINusoid command.

<table> The output shape is described by one of the user-defined waveform tables.

The maximum peak voltage that the ac source can output is 425 V peak. This includes any combination of voltage, voltage offset, and function shape values. Therefore, the maximum value that can be programmed depends on the peak-to-rms ratio of the selected waveform. For a sinewave, the maximum voltage that can be programmed is 300 V rms.

NOTE: For Agilent models 6814B, 6834B and 6843A, you cannot program a voltage that produces a higher volt-second on the output than a 300 Vrms sinewave.
