4.4 Arbitrary Waveform

Arbitrary waveform (ARB) (

FUNCTION

→

ARB

)

Operation using arbitrary waveform (ARB) to produce a sinewave with clipped peak output is
described.

Operation:
(1) Set waveform to arbitrary (ARB)

①

Press the

FUNCTION

key, then the

ARB

key.

(2) Select an arbitrary waveform to be edited/output (SELECT).

①

Press the

ARB EDIT

key, then use the

and

keys to produce the following display

(SELECT flashes).

０：ＡＲＢ＿００

１：ＡＲＢ＿０１

ＡＲＢ：ＳＥＬＥＣＴ

ＮＡＭＥＥＤＩＴＣＯＰＹ

②

Press the

ENTRY

key, then use the

and

keys to produce the following display

(1:ARB_01 flashes).

０：ＡＲＢ＿００
