A waveform generator is built into the oscilloscope. It is enabled by the
HD3WAVEGEN upgrade license. The waveform generator gives you an easy way to
provide input signals when testing circuitry with the oscilloscope.
Waveform generator settings can be saved and recalled with oscilloscope setups.
See
Chapter 21, “Save/Email/Recall (Setups, Screens, Data),” starting on page
261.
To select generated waveform types and settings
1 To access the Waveform Generator Menu and enable or disable the waveform
generator output on the back panel Gen Out BNC, press the [Wave Gen] key.
Or, you can:
a From the menu, choose Sources > Waveform Generator....
b In the Waveform Generator dialog box, select On.
When waveform generator output is enabled, the [Wave Gen] key is illuminated.
When waveform generator output is disabled, the [Wave Gen] key is off.
The waveform generator output is always disabled when the instrument is first
turned on.
The waveform generator output is automatically disabled if excessive voltage is
applied to the Gen Out BNC.
2 In the Waveform Generator dialog box, from the Waveform drop-down list,
select the waveform type.
