BUILT-IN ARBITRARY WAVEFORMS

After selecting Arb → Load Wform → Built-In, a menu is shown

categorizing the Built-In Arbitrary Waveforms as follows:

Note: After selecting one of the following categories using the adjacent

Operation button, the built-in waveforms are shown on the Waveform

Display dialog and may be selected using the Digital Input Front Panel

Controls (on page 27) - specifically, the Direction Buttons or the

Control Knob. Make your selection by pressing the Select option

button.
