Using the <count> Parameter: The <count> parameter specifies how many ramps to output. The timing is such that about 2.3257 full ramps are output each second. A count of 139 will output ramps for just under 60 seconds.

The signal will be output onto the calibration pins (CAL -H and CAL -L) on the front panel Calibration Bus Output connector.

Executable when initiated: NO

Coupled Command: NO

Reset (*RST) Condition: DAC output is set to 0V
