FUNCtion:MODE

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

FIXed

The waveform shape is unaffected by a triggered output transient.

STEP

The waveform shape is programmed to the value set by FUNCtion:TRIGgered when a

 

triggered transient occurs.

PULSe

The waveform shape is changed to the value set by FUNCtion:TRIGgered for a duration

 

determined by the pulse commands.

LIST

The waveform shape is controlled by the waveform shape list when a triggered transient

 

occurs.

FUNC FUNC:TRIG

FUNCtion:TRIGgered

This command selects the shape of the output voltage waveform when a triggered step or pulse transient occurs. The parameters are:

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.
