There are three offset windows (±8 V, ±800 mV, ±80 mV); the
window selected is a function of the amplitude setting.
Table

shows the maximum offset available within each window.

To calculate the maximum offset available for a particular
amplitude setting, use the following inequality:
In FIXed (Std.) Waveform mode, amplitude and offset limitations
may be exceeded at a cost of dynamic range of the output AC
signal.
For example, a FIXed mode sine wave with a 800mV peak to
peak amplitude will force the 3152A into attenuator range 2 as
long as the offset voltage setting does not exceed the maximum
calculated by the equation above (400mV). But, if a 2V offset is
needed, the 3152A will be forced into attenuator range 1
because 1.6V will be exceeded. Since the smallest full-scale
signal cannot be less than 1.6V peak to peak in this range, the
3152A’s main DAC must generate the waveform at 50% of full
scale. This reduces the resolution to 11 bits, reducing the
3152A’s dynamic range by 6dB.
