View the Sample
Waveform
Do the following steps to view the waveform you just loaded:
1. Push the View side menu button to display the waveform.
The waveform is displayed on the screen as shown in Figure 2-34.
2. When you are done viewing the waveform, push the OK side menu button to
exit the viewer.

Output the Waveform
Do the following steps to output the waveform from the CH1 output connector:
1. Push the RUN button on the front–panel.
Pushing the RUN button causes the instrument to output the analog waveform.
Push the RUN button again to stop the waveform output.
2. Push the CH 1 OUTPUT button near the CH1 output connector.
Pushing the CH 1 OUTPUT button connects the channel 1 output to the CH 1
connector. Push the CH1 OUTPUT button again to turn off the CH1 output.
3. If you connected an oscilloscope to the Waveform Generator, observe that the
waveform on the oscilloscope is the same as that shown in Figure 2-34.
You have completed the Loading and Outputting a Sample Waveform tutorial.
NOTE. You must push the RUN button to output a waveform. The instrument does
not automatically output a signal after loading a data file unless the instrument was
in the Run state when you loaded the new data file.
