Command :VOLT[1]
Long [:SOURce]:VOLTage[1][:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]
Form Set & Query
Parameter Numeric
Parameter suffix V with engineering prefixes.
Value coupling
Range coupling With Offset, see page 71
*RST value 1.00 V
Specified limits 100 mVpp to 10.0 Vpp (values ar e valid from 50 Ω into 50 Ω)
Description Use this command to program the amplitude voltage of the output signal.
Note that to set the output levels in terms of voltage, you first have to
execute the [:SOURce]:HOLD VOLTage c ommand to enable the
[:SOURce]:VOLTage subsystem.
The available voltage range is limited by the combination of:
• Specified current limits
• Actual output impedance setting :OUTPut:IMPedance
• Actual expected load impedance setting:
:OUTput:IMPedance:EXTernal
Example To set the amplitude voltage:
High = Offset + Amplitude
2
Low = Offset –
2
Amplitude:HOLD VOLT
:VOLT 5V
Enable VOLTAGE subsystem
Set OUTPUT amplitude to 5 V
