Model 3390 Arbitrary Waveform Generator User’s Manual Section 2: Front Panel
•I/O: The general purpose interface bus (GPIB) and local area network (LAN) remote
interface configurations can be set up through the Utility menu. In addition, you can view
the universal serial bus (USB) interface identification here.
•PATT Mode: You can set up pattern output through the Utility menu. Pattern output
provides five built-in patterns and up to four user-defined patterns that are stored in
nonvolatile memory.
•System: Several system parameters can be accessed through the Utility menu. The error
beeper and sound can be turned on and off, and the calibration and self-test menus can
be entered.
Store/Recall menu key
The Model 3390 has five storage locations in nonvolatile memory to store instrument state. The
stored instrument state holds all the parameters for the selected function, including the
waveform, frequency, DC offset, amplitude, duty cycle, symmetry, modulation type, and
modulation parameters.
The instrument may also be reset to its factory default settings.
Modulation, Sweep, and Burst keys
Modulation, sweep, and burst operations for the Model 3390 can be waveform-specific. The
parameters for each operation are found in Section 5, Waveform Output Operations.
Waveform selection keys
The Model 3390 has five types of standard waveforms: Sine, square, ramp, pulse, and noise
(refer to Section 5, Waveform Output Operations for detailed information). In addition, there are
five built-in arbitrary waveforms.
