To Set a DC Offset Voltage
At power-on, the function generator outputs a sine wave with a dc offset 
of 0 volts (into a 50Ω termination). The following steps show you how to 
change the offset to –1.5 mVdc.
1 Press the “Offset” softkey. 
The displayed offset voltage is either the power-on value or the offset 
previously selected. When you change functions, the same offset is used 
if the present value is valid for the new function. 
2 Enter the magnitude of the desired offset. 
Using the numeric keypad, enter the value “–1.5”.
3 Select the desired units.
Press the softkey that corresponds to the desired units. When you select 
the units, the function generator outputs the waveform with the displayed
 
offset (if the output is enabled). For this example, press mV
DC
.
Note: Y
ou can also enter the desired value using the knob and cursor 
keys.
