Command Syntax

:SOURceN:OFFSet <offset>

<offset> is a double.

Where N identifies a simulated module's specific channel and must be selected from {1:8}{A|B|C|D}. For example, SOURce3C.

Query Syntax

:SOURceN:OFFSet?

Description

On Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) and simulated extended modules, sets the specified source waveform's offset. Enter the offset in volts for electrical channels and Watts for optical channels. To set the amplitude, use the :SOURce<N>:AMPLitude command.

Requires FlexDCA revision A.02.00 and above for simulated extended modules. Revision A.06.00 and above for AWG extended modules.

Selecting AWG Channels

When sending a :SOURce subsystem command to an AWG, the method used to specify the AWG's channel may look confusing at first glance. This is because, the AWG's front-panel channels are labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4, but FlexDCA identifies channels with letters (A, B, C, or D). As a result, you must convert the AWG's channel number to an equivalent FlexDCA letter. For example, to enable channel 3 of an AWG that is installed in FlexDCA's slot 5 use the following command: :SOURce5C:OENable ON.
