Offset
(except option 02)
This button lets you set the waveform output offset voltage. You may set any value
from -0.500 to 0.500 V in 1 mV increments. The VERTICAL:OFFSET knob on
the front panel works in every display except Quick Edit.
Do the following steps to set the waveform offset value:
1. Push SETUP (front)!Vertical (bottom)!Offset (side). The instrument
highlights the Offset screen icon.
2. Use the general purpose knob, numeric buttons, keyboard, or
VERTICAL:OFFSET knob to change the offset value. If you use the general
purpose knob, use the a or ' buttons or keys to select the digit to change.
Marker...
This button lets you set the marker 1 and 2 high and low levels. You may set any
value from -2.00 ≤ Low ≤
2.40 V, -1.00 ≤ High ≤ 2.45 V, Low ≤ High ( -1.1 ≤
Low ≤
High ≤ 3.0 V :AWG710) in 50 mV increments. The value of Low must
always be less than or equal to the value of High. The maximum marker output
level (High - Low) is 1.25 V
p–p
(2.5 V
p–p
:AWG710) when the output signal is
terminated into 50 Ω.
Do the following steps to set the marker signal high and low output levels:
1. Push SETUP (front)!Vertical (bottom)!Marker... (side). The instrument
highlights the Marker screen icon for the selected channel.
2. Push the side menu button for the marker signal value you want to change.
3. Use the general purpose knob, numeric buttons, or keyboard to change the
marker value. If you use the general purpose knob, use the a or ' buttons or
keys to select the digit to change.
Output
(except option 02)
This button selects the Normal or Direct output mode. In the Direct mode, the
instrument analog output is connected directly to the output connector, bypassing
the internal analog filter and offset circuit. The analog waveform signal output
voltage range is from 20 mV
p–p
to 1.0 V
p–p
, in 1 mV increments, terminated into
50 Ω. The maximum signal level is ±0.5 V.
The filter setting and offset setting are not provided in the direct mode.
To connect the instrument analog output directly to the CH1 and CH1
output
connectors, push SETUP (front)!Vertical (bottom)!Output (side) to select
Direct.
To connect the instrument analog output back to the signal vertical parameter
functions, push SETUP (front)!Vertical (bottom)!Output (side) to select
Normal.
