[: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 are 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

command 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 +
