Saving Settings for an Output Function
Settings that apply to the output function include those settings that directly affect the
output signal, but not those that apply to the instrument setup. For example, all of the
settings that contribute to defining a sine output are output function settings. Use the
following procedure to save a set of output function settings:
1.
From the
Save/Recall
screen, select a slot for saving the output function settings.
2. Press the
Save Mode
soft key. Three new soft labels are displayed:
Save Sine
Mode
,
Save Sweep Mode
, and
Save Mod. Functions
.
3. Press the appropriate soft key. If the memory slot contains previously saved settings,
the screen prompts for overwrite permission (
Yes
or
No
). Pressing the
Yes
soft key
saves the new settings, and the Type column in the selected slot field displays the
mode to identify the settings as output function settings. Pressing the
No
soft key
aborts the save attempt.
Recalling Settings
Anyone of the 10 saved settings may be recalled at anytime. Use the following
procedure:
1.
From the
Save/Recall
screen, select the slot containing the settings to be recalled.
2. Press the Recall Settings soft key. The instrument immediately responds to the new
settings.
Creating an RF Output Signal
The Instrument provides three kinds of output signals: sine, modulated, and swept. User
selectable screens, as shown in Figure 3-6, provide control for each of these outputs.

Figure 3-6. Control Screens for the RF Output Signal
The remaining sections in this chapter provide the procedures for creating sine,
modulated, and swept output signals. An appropriate screen facsimile and a table
containing a breakdown of the fields accessible on the screen complement each of the
procedures. Procedures for expanded features, such as offset, are presented separately.
Note
Entries displayed in parentheses in the soft labels indicate what will show
in the field after a button is pressed, not what the field currently shows. For
example, if the label indicates
Frequency (Step edit)
, the
Frequency
field
is showing
Cursor edit
.
Note
Many of the data fields in the following procedures include the opportunity
to define measurement units (using the

key). Since the units are often
preferential, it is left to the user to define them. Instructions to do so are not
given in the following procedures.
