Quick Start
Set Output Amplitude
The instrument's default function is a 1 kHz, 100 mVpp sine wave (into a 50 Ω termination).
The following steps change the amplitude to 50 mVpp.
1. Press the Units key, and then press the softkey marked Amp/Offs or High/Low to make sure that you are in
Amp/Offs.
The displayed amplitude is either the power-on value or the amplitude previously selected. When you change func-
tions, the same amplitude is used if the present value is valid for the new function. To choose whether you want to
specify voltage as amplitude and offset or high and low values, press and then the second softkey. In this case, we
will highlight Amp/Offs.
2. Enter the magnitude of the desired amplitude.
Press and then press Amplitude. Using the numeric keypad, enter the number 50.
3. Select the desired units.
Press the softkey that corresponds to the desired units. When you select the units, the instrument outputs the
waveform with the displayed amplitude (if the output is enabled). For this example, press mVpp.
You can also enter the desired value using the knob and cursor keys. If you do so, you do not need to use a units
softkey. You can easily convert the displayed amplitude from one unit to another. Simply press [Units], and then
press the AmpI As softkey and select the desired units.
