3.1 Menu Options
All settings and parameters can be configured from the menu system of the instrument. The
channel specific menu options are the same for both channel 1 and channel 2. Use the
Ch1/Ch2 button keys to toggle the channel selection. The selected option will be highlighted in
blue. Some settings are common for most waveforms (i.e. frequency, amplitude, offset, etc.)
and some are specific to each type of waveform (i.e. Duty cycle only available for square and
pulse waveforms). Section 3.3 provides instructions on how to configure these settings.
Many options are grouped in pairs and can be selected by toggling their corresponding menu
function keys. For example:
Softkey will toggle
selection between
Frequency or Period.
Softkey will toggle
selection
between
Amplitude or
HighLevel.
Softkey will toggle
selection
between Offset or
LowLevel.
Softkey will select
Phase.
Softkey will enable
or disable the
Harmonic
Generation
Function.
The menu system is organized as follows:
Waveforms
