Table 11 - Waveform parameters
The Amplitude and Offset softkeys have two other selections: High-Level and High-Level Fine for
the amplitude softkey and Low-Level and Low-Level Fine for the offset softkey. When any of
these are chosen, the labels on the softkeys change to High-Level and Low-Level. When the
softkeys are pressed and the Universal Knob is turned, the peak (High) value and minimum (Low)
value of the waveform are adjusted.
The generator's electrical characteristics are:
Amplitude (all waveforms): 4 mV to 6 V peak-to-peak
DC offset (all waveforms): ±3.0 V
Minimum frequency (all waveforms): 1 µHz
The maximum frequency depends on the waveform:
