4080 series Function & Arbitrary/Function Generators –Instruction Manual 
33
POWER ON  “Power on” state 
ADDRESS:  set GPIB address (option) 
OUT Z:    Configure amplitude display for 50Ω or high impedance load termination 
INTERFACE: Select RS232 or GP-IB (IEEE-488) interface (option) 
BAUD:    Baud rate for the RS232 interface 
PARITY:   Parity and Data Bits configuration for RS232 
BEEP:    Toggle the key beep on/off 
After the selected system parameter flashes for 1 second, the parameter value will be displayed and 
the value can be edited using the knob or via direct entry using the numerical keypad. 
Power on state “POWER ON: 
This parameter has 2 possible values, “1: DEFAULT” or “2: LAST STATE”. In determines the 
initial setting of the instrument after power up. The factory setting is “1: DEFAULT”. The default 
state is main waveform sine wave, 10kHz, 2Vpp which is identical to the state the instrument is in 
after pressing “Reset”. When selecting “2: LAST STATE”, the instrument will “remember” the last 
state the unit was in before power was turned off. The power on state is stored in non-volatile 
memory, location 0 (see Store/Recall section) 
GPIB address “ADDRESS” 
The default of GPIB interface address is 1. It can be set within 0 ~ 30. 
Output impedance “OUT Z” 
The generator has a fixed output impedance of 50 ohms on the OUTPUT terminal. You can specify 
whether you are terminating the output into a 50 ohm load or an open circuit. Incorrect impedance 
matching between the function generator and your load will result in amplitude or offset which does 
not match the specified signal level. 
Select “1: HIGH Z” or “2: 50 OHM” according to your load configuration.  
“INTERFACE” selection 
Select RS232 (“2: RS232”), GPIB (“1: GP-IB”) or USB (“3: USB”). The default is RS232.  
“BAUD” rate setting 
Set the baud rate for the RS232 interface.  Possible baud rates are 9600, 4800, 2400, 1200, 600 and 
300. The default rate is 9600 (“1: 9600”) 
“PARITY” setting 
Set parameters parity bit and number of data bits. Possible configurations are: 
None/ 8 data bits (“1: NONE 8 BITS”) 
Odd/ 7 data bits (“2: ODD 7 BITS” 
Even/ 7 data bits (“3: EVEN 7 BITS”).  
The default setting is None/ 8 data bits.
