Setting the Amplitude
The following equation represents the relative output amplitude voltage relationship between the
front-panel amplitude peak-to-peak setting and the data point values in waveform memory:
𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑝𝑢𝑡 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒 =
𝐴𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒 𝑝 − 𝑝 𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 ∙ 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎 𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒
16382
+ 𝑜𝑓𝑓𝑠𝑒𝑡
Where 16382 is the total data point value range in waveform memory.

Loading an Arbitrary Waveform
To load a section of arbitrary waveform memory, specify its start address and length in the ARB menu:
1.
Select the channel to
ON
.
2.
Press
WAVE
and select the F5: ARB function.
3.
Press F1: START to display the start address and use the rotary input knob or the numerical
keys to enter the address.
4.
Press F2: LENGTH to display the length of the waveform and use the rotary input knob or the
numerical keys to enter the length.
Note:
The starting address must be an odd number. If an even number is entered, the instrument will
automatically decrement one value to an odd number. For example, if you set start address to 2000
and press
ENTER
, it will display 1999. The length value must always be an even number. If you input an
odd number length, a message will pop up and say “Even wave length” and then decrement one value
to an even number. For example, if you entered 1001 as the length, the message will pop up for one
second and change the value automatically to 1000.

Remote Interface
USB Interface
The instrument has a USB interface (USBTMC) on the rear panel for remote communication. From the
UTIL
menu, press USB to select the USB interface.
