Features and Functions 3
Keysight 33210A User’s Guide 69
– Function Limitations: If you change to a function whose maximum frequency is
less than that of the current function, the frequency is adjusted to the
maximum value for the new function. For example, if you are currently
outputting a 10 MHz sine wave and then change to the ramp function, the
function generator will automatically
adjust the output frequency to 100 kHz
(the upper limit for ramps).
– Amplitude Limitations: If you change to a function whose maximum amplitude
is less than that of the current function, the amplitude is automatically
adjusted to the maximum value for the new function. This may occur when the
output units are Vrms or dBm due to the differences in crest factor for the
various output functions.
For example, if you output a 5 Vrms square wave (into 50 ohms) and then
change to the sine wave function, the function generator will automatically
adjust the output amplitude to 3.536 Vrms (the upper limit for sine in Vrms).
– Front-Panel Operation: To select a function, press any key in the top row of
function keys. Press to output the arbitrary waveform currently selected.
To view the other arbitrary waveform choices, press the Select Wform softkey.
To select dc volts from the front panel, press and then select the DC On
softkey. Press the Offset softkey to enter the desired offset voltage level.
– Remote Interface Operation:

command to select the function, frequency
,
amplitude, and offset with a single command.
