Ramp Use the Frequency/Period, 
Amplitude/High-Level, Offset/Low-Level, 
and Symmetry fields to set the ramp signal 
parameters.
Symmetry represents the amount of time per 
cycle that the ramp waveform is rising and 
can be adjusted from 0% to 100%.

2 mVpp  to 
10 Vpp
When amplitude <50 mV: 
±(800 mV - 0.5 * amplitude)
When amplitude ≥50 mV: 
±(8 V - 0.5 * amplitude)
Pulse Use the Frequency/Period, 
Amplitude/High-Level, Offset/Low-Level, 
and Width/Width Fine fields to set the pulse 
signal parameters.
For frequencies of 101.6 Hz and lower, the 
minimum pulse width is 300 ns. For 
frequencies of 6 kHz and higher, the 
minimum pulse width is 5 ns. For 
frequencies between 101.6 Hz and 6 kHz, 
the minimum pulse width goes linearly from 
300 ns to 5 ns. The pulse width can be 
adjusted from the minimum to the period 
minus the minimum.

When amplitude ≥50 mV: 
±(8 V - 0.5 * amplitude)
DC Use the Offset field to set the DC level.
Use the DC Mode drop-down list to select 
Precise levels (with a ±1.00 V range) or Wide 
range (of ±8.00 V).
n/a n/a ±8.00 V or ±1.00 V, 
depending on the DC Mode 
selection
Noise Use the Amplitude/High-Level and 
Offset/Low-Level to set the noise signal 
parameters.

Cardinal
Use the Frequency/Period, Amplitude, and 
Offset fields to set the sinc signal 
parameters.

Exponential 
Rise
Use the Frequency/Period, 
Amplitude/High-Level, and 
Offset/Low-Level fields to set the 
exponential rise signal parameters.

Fall
Use the Frequency/Period, 
Amplitude/High-Level, and 
Offset/Low-Level fields to set the 
exponential fall signal parameters.
