[:LEVel][:IMMediate]:OFFSet
[SOURce:]VOLTage[:LEVel][:IMMediate]:OFFSet <offset> sets the output offset
voltage for all waveform shapes except DC. Output offset amplitude is programmed
in volts.

<
offset> numeric see below | MINimum | MAXimum volts
DC Output: When a matched load has been specified, MINimum selects -5.0 V;
MAXimum selects +5.0 V.
Arbitrary Waveform, Ramp, Sine, Square, and Triangle Outputs:
When a matched load has been specified, if the output amplitude, in volts, is greater than
1.02426 V (peak), MINimum selects the greater of (-6.025 V + output amplitude value)
and -5.0 V, rounded down if needed to a multiple of 2.5 mV; MAXimum selects the lesser
of (+6.025 V - output amplitude value) and +5.0 V, again rounded down. If the output
amplitude in volts, is less than or equal to 1.02426 V, MINimum selects the greater of
(-1.205 V + output amplitude value) and -.99993 V rounded down if needed to a multiple
of .499966 mV; MAXimum selects the lesser of (+1.205 V - output amplitude value) and
+.99993 V, again rounded down.
For all waveform shapes, when an open circuit load has been specified, double all the
above voltages.
The above values bound the legal range for <
offset>.
