For arbitrary waveforms, the Offset annunciator will turn on if the
waveform data has an inherent offset present (if the average is not
equal to zero). The function generator calculates the average of the
data points and compares the average to zero volts. If the average is
not within two
DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) counts of zero volts,
the
Offset annunciator turns on.
Front-Panel Operation: To set the dc offset, press Offset . Then use
the knob, arrow keys, or “Enter Number” mode to set the offset.
Remote Interface Operation:
VOLTage:OFFSet {<
offset>|MINimum|MAXimum}
You can also use the APPLy command to select the function,
frequency, amplitude, and offset with a single command.
