A library of 50 factory-supplied waveshapes is provided in Flash Memory. Non-volatile
memory storage is available for an additional 50 user-created waveshapes.
Waveshapes from the libraries can be assigned amplitude and frequency parameters
and be stored as setups in non-volatile memory for immediate user recall. In addition,
you can create up to 1000 timed segments and link them together to form sequences
(transient programs).
The backlit graphics LCD display allows quick confirmation of waveforms when created
or edited from the front panel. Front panel BNCs provide waveform reference outputs
for oscilloscope viewing. The front panel also includes a keypad, a rotary knob, and
Help screens.
