Waveform Types
AC voltage, ac current, dual ac voltage, and ac power functions supply a softkey to select
between four different waveform types: sine wave (sine), triangle wave (tri), square wave
(square), and truncated sine wave (truncs). When the Calibrator output is sine wave ac
power or dual ac voltage, the Control Display shows more softkeys for harmonics and
fundamental frequencies.
Sine Wave
When the wave selection is sine, a sine wave current or voltage signal is at the Calibrator
outputs (Figure 4-11). The variables for the sine wave are
amplitude
, frequency, and dc
offset voltage.

Triangle Waves
When the wave selection is tri, the triangle wave is at the Calibrator outputs
(Figure 4-12). The variables for the triangle wave are amplitude, frequency, and dc offset
voltage. When a triangle wave is selected, the Output Display shows amplitudes in p-p
units.
