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.

|
|
|
Waveform/ | 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. |
| Edit... | Opens the appropriate editor for the loaded file. |

|
Vertical | 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 |
|
| dBm/Hz with Option 05. |
| Output | Selects to connect the DAC output directly to the channel |
|
| connector. except option 02 |
