To Set a DC Offset Voltage
At power-on, the function generator outputs a sine wave with a dc offset
of 0 volts (into a 50Ω termination). The following steps show you how to
change the offset to –1.5 mVdc.
1Press the “Offset” softkey.
The displayed offset voltage is either the power-on value or the offset
previously selected. When you change functions, the same offset is used
if the present value is valid for the new function.
2 Enter the magnitude of the desired offset.
Using the numeric keypad, enter the value “–1.5”.
3 Select the desired units.
Press the softkey that corresponds to the desired units. When you select
the units, the function generator outputs the waveform with the displayed
offset (if the output is enabled). For this example, press mVdc.
Note: You can also enter the desired value using the knob and arrow keys.
Note: To select dc volts from the front panel, press and then select
the DC On softkey. Press the Offset softkey to enter the desired voltage level.
