Quick Start
One of the first things you will want to do with your waveform generator
is
to become acquainted with the front panel. We have written the

get familiar with some of its front-panel operations. This chapter is
divided into the following sections:
• To Prepare the Waveform Generator for Use, on page 17
• To Adjust the Carrying Handle, on page 19
• To Set the Output Frequency, on page 20
• To Set the Output Amplitude, on page 22
• To Set a DC Offset Voltage, on page 25
• To Set the High-Level and Low-Level Values, on page 27
• To Output a DC Voltage, on page 29
• To Set the Duty Cycle of a Square Wave, on page 30
• To Configure a Pulse Waveform, on page 32
• To Select a Stored Arbitrary Waveform, on page 34
• To Use the Built-In Help System, on page 35
