Operating Basics

Setting Waveform Output Parameters

Note that the view function always display the waveform in the file that you specified, but not the waveform in the waveform memory. Even when you change the waveform with the editor and update the waveform memory, the view function still displays the waveform before the update unless you do not save the file.

The Setup side menus provide commands for setting and adjusting waveform output parameters. The steps for setting output parameters are discussed in detail in the Reference section of the User manual. Table 2±15 provides an overview of the Setup side menu operations.

Load...

Displays the Select File dialog box that lists files in the current

Sequence

 

drive and directory. Select a file to load or use the side menu

 

 

buttons to change drives and/or directories.

 

View

Displays the loaded file in a window. Push the OK side menu

 

 

button to close the view window.

Filter

Selects low:pass filter to insert into signal path. Filter values are

 

 

through ￿no filter￿, 1 MHz, 5 MHz, 20 MHz, and 50 MHz. Use the

 

 

general purpose knob to enter new values. ￿except option 02￿

 

Amplitude

Sets the signal peak:to:peak amplitude in increments of 0.001 V.

 

 

The maximum value is 2 Vpk:pk ￿5 Vpk:pk with Option 05￿ in normal

 

 

mode and 0.5 Vpk:pk in direct mode. Use the general purpose knob

 

 

or the keypad to enter new values.

 

Offset

Sets the signal offset value in increments of 0.001 V. The offset

 

 

voltage range is ±1 V. Use the general purpose knob or the

 

 

keypad to enter new values. ￿except option 02￿

 

Add...

Adds the internal noise signal and/or external input signal to a

 

 

waveform. You can set the range of the internal noise generator

 

 

level within the limits of -140 to -95 dBm/Hz ￿-130 to -95

 

 

dBm/Hz with Option 05￿.

 

Output

Selects to connect the DAC output directly to the channel

 

 

connector. ￿except option 02￿
