Adjust waveform settings
When you turn on your instrument, the default output signal is a 1 MHz sine wave with an amplitude
of 1 V
pp
. In the following example, you can change the frequency and amplitude of the original output
signal.
To adjust waveform settings:
1. Press the front-panel Default button to display the default output signal.
2. When you are prompted with Are you sure you want to recall default setup?, select
OK or Cancel.
3. Make sure that Freq is selected. If it is not, select Period on the CH1 touch screen and change
