2.3. To Set Ramp Signals

Press Ramp button to call the ramp operation. The ramp waveform parameters

are set by using the ramp operation menu.

The parameters for ramp waveforms are: frequency/ period, amplitude/ high

level offset/ low level, phase and symmetry. As is shown in Figure 2- 9, in the

soft key menu, select Symmetry. Cursor is located in the symmetry parameter

area in the parameter display window, and users can set the symmetry value

here.
