Generating a sine wave
1.
If you intend to use fixed ranging, manually set the range high enough to
accommodate both the amplitude and offset setting.
2.
Configure the waveform as follows:
a. Press CONFIG then WAVE to enter the wave function configuration
menu.
b. Select TYPE, then press ENTER.
c. Select SINE, then press ENTER to choose a sine wave.
d. To add a DC offset, select OFFSET from the CONFIGURE
WAVEFORM menu, then set the offset as desired.
e. To use the phase marker, select PHASE-MARKER, set the STATE to
ON, use OUTPUT-POINT to set the phase setting, and OUTPUT-LINE
to set the trigger line.
f. Again from the CONFIGURE WAVEFORM menu, choose RANGING,
press ENTER, then select BEST-FIXED or FIXED as desired.
g. From the CONFIGURE WAVEFORM menu, select DURATION, then
set the desired waveform duration.
h. From the CONFIGURE WAVEFORM menu, select AMPL-UNIT, then
set the desired amplitude units (PEAK or RMS).
i. Press EXIT to return to normal display.
3.
Set frequency and amplitude:
a. Press the FREQ key, then set the frequency to the desired value.
b. Press the AMPL key, then set the amplitude as required.
4.
Generate waveform:
a. Press the WAVE key to arm the wave function.
b. Press TRIG to turn on the output and start generating the waveform.
c. The output will turn off after the currently set duration period has
expired. If the duration is set to infinite, press the EXIT key to stop generating the waveform and turn the output off.
