Features and Function
HDG2000 Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator 26
3.1 Output Configuration
This section describes output channel configuration. Many commands associated with output
configuration start with SOURce1: or SOURce2: to indicate a certain channel. User can’t omit.
Output Function
The instrument includes six standard waveforms: sine, square, ramp, pulse, noise and Harmonic.
There are also nine built-in arbitrary waveforms, and you can create custom waveforms with the
embedded waveform editor.
The table below shows which functions are allowed (•) with modulation, sweep, and burst.
Selecting a function that is not allowed with a modulation or mode disables the modulation or
mode.
(a) Gated burst only
Frequency Limitations: Changing functions may change the frequency to meet the new
function's frequency limits.
Amplitude and offset cannot combine to exceed the instrument’s capability. The one you set
last may be changed to stay within limits.
You may protect a device under test (DUT) by specifying upper and lower output voltage limits.

Output Frequency
The output frequency range depends on the function (default frequency 1 kHz for all functions).
