:SOURce:SSC:PATTern

Simulated and AWG Commands

Command Syntax

:SOURceN:SSC:PATTern  {SINusoidal | TRIangle | SQUare | SAWTooth}

Where N identifies a simulated instrument's specific channel in the form "<connection1-8>_<ch1-8>" (for example, SOURce4_2). With connection 1, the connection number part (that is, "1_") is optional, and you can simply use the channel number "<ch1-8>" (for example, SOURce3 which is the same as SOURce1_3).

Query Syntax

:SOURceN:SSC:PATTern?

Description

This command specifies the shape of the modulating signal which determines the rate of change in the output symbol rate. For example, a constant rate of change from the symbol rate to the lower frequency (when using Down Spread) followed by a constant rate of change from the lower frequency back to the symbol rate is a Triangle pattern/shape.
