Tap the AFG button to display the AFG menu.
Tap Output to toggle the AFG output on and off and display the AFG badge.
The AFG badge is displayed when the output is on. The On-Off status is always off when you recall an instrument setup. The AFG will
always come up in the off state when you turn the oscilloscope power on.
Tap Modulation to toggle the AM/FM modulation on and off.
The modulation menu is not available when the AFG waveform type is set to DC, Pulse, Noise, or Cardiac.
How to change the waveform type
1. Tap the AFG button to bring up the AFG menu.
2. Tap Waveform Type and select the waveform type from the list. Choose between Sine, Square, Pulse, Ramp, DC, Noise, Sin(x)/x,
Gaussian, Lorentz, Exponential Rise, Exponential Decay, Haversine, Cardiac, and Arbitrary.
3. Tap Frequency, Period, Amplitude, Offset, High Level, or Low Level and set the frequency, period, amplitude, offset and the high
and low levels of the desired waveform.
4. Tap Load Impedance and select the load impedance: 50Ω or High Z.
5. Tap Add Noise check box to toggle noise on. Set the amount of noise to add to the output signal using the keypad or the multipurpose
controls.
You can enable the AFG trigger pulse to come out of the rear-panel AUX OUT port. This is useful if you want an AUX OUT pulse that is
synchronized to your AFG waveform. To enable this feature, tap Utility> I/O> Aux Out> AFG Out Signal > AFG Sync.
