RTE/RTO/RTP-B6: Output of a single waveform in single mode with remote commands

Question

I use the wavefrom generator in Run mode "single". With remote commands I want that the waveform is sent out only once.

With the command "WGEN ON" nothing happens. What command is necessary to send out just one waveform?

Answer

In Run mode "single" the waveform generator has to be switched off and on again, then one waveform is generated.

The SCPI commands are:

WGEN OFF

WGEN ON

Repeat that sequence every time one waveform shall be sent out.
