• Arbitrary Waveform Limitations : For arbitrary waveforms, the
maximum offset and amplitude will be limited if the waveform data
points do not span the full range of the output DAC (Digital-to-Analog
Converter).
• You can also set the offset by specifying a high level and low level.
For example, if you set the high level to +2 volts and the low level to
-3 volts, the resulting amplitude is 5 Vpp (with an offset voltage of
-500 mV).
• For the DC volts function, you control the output level by setting the
offset voltage. You can set the DC level to any value between ±5 VDC
into 50 ohms or ±10 VDC into an open circuit.
Front-Panel Operation : To select a DC signal from the front panel,
press , then

with the knob or
keypad, and if you use the keypad, press

to finish entering
the value. Then press or or and make sure the

softkey is
ON.
• Remote Interface Operation :
[SOURce[1|2]:]VOLTage:OFFSet
{<
offset
>|MINimum|MAXimum}
Or, you can set the offset by specifying a high level and low level
using the following commands.
[SOURce[1|2]:]VOLTage:HIGH
{<
voltage
>|MINimum|MAXimum}
[SOURce[1|2]:]VOLTage:LOW
{<

>|MINimum|MAXimum}
You can also use the
APPLy
command to select the function, frequency,
amplitude, and offset with a single command.
