8.  Modulation 
Press Src1Mod to enter the modulation setting interface. For detailed 
introduction of the modulation function, please refer to “
Modulation”.  
Note: When “Pulse”, “DC” or “Noise” is selected, the modulation menu will be 
hidden automatically. 
 
9.  Set the impedance 
Press Impedance to set the output impedance of the signal generator. It can be 
set to “HighZ” or “50Ω”. 
 
 
 
To Output Arbitrary Waveform 
 
MSO1000Z/DS1000Z allows users to define their own arbitrary waveform and save it 
in the internal or external memory. At most 10 arbitrary waveforms can be stored in 
the internal memory. The user-defined waveform can contain 1 to 16384 data points 
(namely 1 pts to 16 kpts). 
 
1.  Source 1 output 
Press Output to turn on or off the signal output. 
 
2.  Set the frequency 
Press Frequency to set the frequency of the signal. For the setting method, 
please refer to the introduction in “
Parameter Setting Method”. The available 
range is from 100 mHz to 10 MHz. 
 
3.  Set the amplitude 
Press Amplitude to set the amplitude of the signal. For the setting method, 
please refer to the introduction in “
Parameter Setting Method”. When the 
impedance is set to HighZ, the range is from 20 mVpp to 5 Vpp; when the 
impedance is set to 50 Ω, the range is from 10 mVpp to 2.5 Vpp.  
 
4.  Set the DC offset voltage 
Press Offset to set the DC offset of the signal. For the setting method, please 
refer to the introduction in “
Parameter Setting Method”. When the 
impedance is HighZ, the range is from (-2.5 V+the current amplitude/2) to (2.5 
V-the current amplitude/2); when the impedance is set to 50 Ω, the range is from 
(-1.25 V+the current amplitude/2) to (1.25 V-the current amplitude/2). 
 
5.  Set the start phase 
Press StartPhase to set the start phase of the signal. For the setting method, 
please refer to the introduction in “
Parameter Setting Method”. The range is 
from 0°to 360°.
