– Arbitrary Waveform Limitations: For arbitrary waveforms, the maximum
offset
and amplitude will be limited if the waveform data points do not
span the full
range of the output DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter).
For example, the built-in
“Sinc” waveform does not use the full range of values between ±1 and
therefore its maximum offset is limited to 4.95 volts (into 50 ohms).
– You can also set the offset by specifying a high level and low level.
For example, if you set the high level to +2 volts and the low level to
-3 volts, the resulting amplitude is 5 Vpp (with an offset voltage of
-500 mV).
– For dc volts, the output level is actually controlled by setting the offset
voltage. You can set the dc level to any value between ±5 Vdc into 50 ohms or
±10 Vdc into an open circuit.
To select dc volts from the front panel, press and then select the DC On
softkey. Press the Offset softkey to set the desired offset voltage level.
– Front-Panel Operation:
To set the dc offset, press the Offset softkey for the
selected function. Then use the knob or numeric keypad to enter the desired
offset. To set the offset using a high level and low level, press the Offset
softkey again to toggle to the HiLevel and LoLevel softkeys.
– Remote Interface Operation:
VOLTage:OFFSet {<offset>|MINimum|MAXimum}
Or, you can set the offset by specifying a high level and low level using the
following commands.
VOLTage:HIGH {<voltage>|MINimum|MAXimum}
VOLTage:LOW {<voltage>|MINimum|MAXimum}
You can also use the APPLy command to select the function, frequency ,
amplitude, and offset with a single command.
