How can I generate with SCPI a DC signal on the fast output

Hi Nils
How can I generate with SCPI a DC signal on the fast output throught a SCPI command?

using generate this is possible using this work around
>> generate 1 0 0 sine 0.8
But unfortunately this same work around doesn't work for SCPI

How can I set a DC output of 0.8V with the SCPI command?

Moreover Is it possible for the future to have also DC? among the other waveform Source of the analogue output already available like: SINE, SQUARE,TRIANGLE, SAWU, SAWD, PWM, ARBITRARY ..???DC???

As far as I can tell, there already exists a "DC" waveform setting for the SCPI "SOUR<n>:FUNC" call. It is not listed in the documentation, but the source looks like it should work.

Thanks Nils
It's working even if the frequency must be set to 0
Thanks so much
