Overview

(12) VALUE Button and

Press the VALUE button to light the LED indicator. In this

Indicator

state, inputting the numeric values or selecting the item can be

 

done using the numeric keys or the general purpose knob.

 

After input or selection, press the VALUE button to enter the

 

setting. When a special VALUE button movement is required,

 

an explanation of the VALUE button is displayed on the

 

screen.

 

 

(13) General Purpose Knob

Use this knob to set a variety of functions and numerical values

 

on the instrument. A knob icon shown on the screen indicates

 

that that item is controlled by this knob.

 

 

(14) Delete Key

Use this key to delete the character just in front of the cursor.

 

Hold down the key to delete characters in succession.

 

 

(15) HARDCOPY Button

Use this button to output a hard copy of the data displayed on

 

the screen. The hard copy can be output to disk or to either the

 

GPIB or RS92329C interface.

 

 

(16) TRIGGER INPUT

This connector is used to enter an external trigger or gate

Connector

signal. It allows external signals with a maximum input voltage

 

of 10 Vp9p into a 1 MW input impedance, and a maximum input

 

voltage of 5 VRMS into a 50 W input impedance.

(17) TRIGGER MANUAL

When the operation mode is set to Triggered, Burst,

Button

Waveform Advance or Autostep, pressing the MANUAL

 

button will cause waveform output to begin. Waveform output

 

will proceed and stop in accordance with the mode that has

 

been set. In Gated mode, the waveform will be output only as

 

long as the MANUAL button is pressed. In Cont mode,

 

pressing the MANUAL button has no effect.

 

 

(18) Unit Keys and ENTER

The following unit keys are provided: ns, MHz/ms, kHz/ms/mV

Key

and Hz/s/V. Press the appropriate unit key to specify the

 

desired numeric value and unit. Also, if a hexadecimal radix is

 

selected from the Waveform Editor Table display, the unit key

 

is used to input C-F. Press the ENTER key to enter the

 

numeric value and selected item.

 

 

(19) Numeric Keys

Press the numeric keys to enter numeric data. The numeric

 

keys include the numerals 0 through 9, and the •." and •-"

 

symbols. The •." and •-" numeric keys are also used to input

 

hexadecimal •A" and •B", respectively, in the Waveform Editor

 

Table display. Hold down a numeric key as desired to repeat its

 

input.

 

 

(20) F.G Button

Press the F.G button to switch from arbitrary waveform

 

generation mode to functional waveform generation mode. Use

 

this mode to select one of the standard function waveforms for

 

each output channel and to set its parameters. The functional

 

waveforms include sine, triangular, square, ramp and pulse

 

waveforms. You can set each function's parameters. See

 

Section 3 for further information.
