To Output Basic Waveform 
 
DG1000Z series can output basic waveforms (Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse and Noise) 
from one of the channels separately or from the two channels at the same time. At 
start-up, the dual channels are configured to output a sine waveform with 1kHz 
frequency and 5Vpp amplitude by default. Users can configure the instrument to 
output various basic waveforms.  
 
To Select Output Channel 
 
The front-panel key CH1|CH2  is used to switch the currently selected channel 
between CH1 and CH2. At start-up, CH1 is selected by default and the corresponding 
area in the user interface is highlighted and the border of the channel status bar is 
displayed in yellow. At this point, pressing CH1|CH2 at the front panel to select CH2, 
the corresponding area in the user interface is highlighted and the border of the 
channel status bar is displayed in blue.  
 
After the desired channel is selected, users can configure the waveform and 
parameters of the channel selected. 
 
 
CH1 and CH2 can not be selected at the same time. Users can first select CH1 and 
then select CH2 after configuring the waveform and parameters of CH1.
