3.6.1 PARAMETER Key
This key selects and displays the waveform frequency, amplitude, offset and external reference and allows changing the
parameter data. When the Arbitrary Waveform is selected, the display shows also the waveform rate.
Frequency
Menu
F1: FREQ
-
(Frequency) Selects and displays the frequency. Change the frequency setting using the cursor
keys and rotary knob or numerical keypad. If a certain wavelength can't produce the waveform
at the desired frequency, the waveform generator displays an “Out of Range” error message.
F3: AMPL/OFST -
Selects the Amplitude or the Offset parameters.
In Arbitrary mode this setting defines the maximum peak-to-peak amplitude of a full-scale
waveform. If the waveform does not use the full scale of data (-8191 to +8191), then its actual
amplitude will be smaller.

Setting the Amplitude
The following equation represents the relative output amplitude voltage relationship between the front-
