The wave generator is available through the Wavegen menu, shown below. To access this
menu, push the softkey below MODE until “wavegen” shows, see below.

You can push the MODE softkey to go through the functions in the sequence shown, or
you can push to return directly to the OTHER modes menu.
Each option in the Wavegen menu is given below.
• OUTPUT @ SCOPE Shows the location of the signal output. If the signal does not
show on the oscilloscope, push . To disconnect the signal, push .
• WAVE Scrolls through the three types of waveforms that are available. You can
select a square, sine, or triangle wave as the output.
• SCOPE Z Toggles the output impedance setting of the Calibrator between 50 Ω
and 1 MΩ.
• OFFSET Shows the offset of the given wave. To change the offset, record the new
value, and push . The rotary knob does not change the offset. The rotary knob
changes the voltage output.
When you change the offset, you must stay in specified limits to prevent clipping the
peaks. The limit comes from the peak-to-peak value of the wave. The maximum peak
excursion is equal to the offset plus half of the wave’s peak-to-peak value. See
“Wave Generator Specifications” at the start of this chapter.
• MODE Shows you are in Wavegen mode. Use the softkey to change modes and
open the related menus for the other four oscilloscope calibration modes.
