Triangle Waves
When the wave selection is tri, the triangle wave is present on the calibrator outputs
(Figure 4-12). The variables for the triangle wave are amplitude, frequency, and dc offset
voltage. Whenever a triangle wave is selected, the Output Display indicates amplitudes in
p-p units.

Square Wave
When the wave selection is square, a square wave current or voltage signal is present on
the calibrator outputs (Figure 4-13). The variables for the square wave are duty cycle,
amplitude, frequency, and dc offset voltage. Whenever a square wave is selected, the
Output Display indicates amplitude in p-p units. If the calibrator is set for a single voltage
or current output, the duty cycle of the signal can be set through the keypad. To enter a
new duty cycle, press the DUTY CYCLE softkey and up to five numeric keys followed
by E. The negative-going edge of the square wave will move based on the duty
cycle setting.
