F3: LENG
-
Selects the length of the predefined waveform (number of points for a
full wave). The length value must be a number that is divisible by 4 or by
2 in some instances. If not, a pop up message will say “Must divide by 4”
or “Must divide by 2” and entered values will change back to its original.
Different waveforms have different limitations on the length. Refer to
Table 3-1 below.
F4: SCALE
-
Selects the scale of the waveform. If scale is too high, a message will
display “Scale too high.” 100% means that the waveform spans the full
scale of -8191 to 8191. Scale factors are limited by the point data value of
the starting point and automatically calculated by the unit.

F5: EXEC
- Prompts you to confirm whether to execute the selected predefined waveform.
Press NO to abort executing the predefined waveform; press YES to execute the predefined
waveform. On the NOISE function a menu of ADD and NEW is prompted to select a new noise
waveform or to add noise to the existing waveform.
F4: MORE

Displays the following Menu:
F1: COPY
-
Displays the Copy menu (see the Copy Function later in this section).
F2: CLEAR
- Displays the Clear menu (see the Clear Function later in this section).
F3: PROT
- Displays the Protect menu (see the Protect Function later in this section).
F4: SHOW WAVE
- Display the Arbitrary waveform in full screen mode on LCD display.
This is only an approximated display for quick viewing. It does not
represent the exact waveform being generated. To return back to the
MENU selection, press any button.
