[1] Offsets are not allowed on ranges above the highest range shown above.
[2] The maximum offset value is determined by the difference between the peak value of the selected voltage output and the
allowable maximum peak signal. For example, a 10 V p-p square wave output has a peak value of 5 V, allowing a maximum offset
up to ± 50 V to not exceed the 55 V maximum peak signal. The maximum offset values shown above are for the minimum outputs
in each range.
[3] For frequencies 0.01 to 10 Hz, and 500 kHz to 2 MHz, the offset uncertainty is 5 % of output, ±1 % of the offset range.
