Functions mode general overview
The Functions interface provides you with a quick and easy way to generate simple types of waveforms. Refer to the following
illustration and table for information on the key screen elements.
Screen element Description
1. Play/Stop button Starts and stops waveform play out. The Play button icon changes to indicate the waveform play out status.
See Run state control on page 21.
2. Workspace tabs The workspace tabs provides access to all instrument functions.
■
Home returns the workspace area to the Function mode setup display.
■
Utilities displays controls for preferences, system information, help and support. Utilities are global
instrument settings.
3. Channel enable Enables the channel output. Internally connects the channel and marker output connectors to the
instrument. The All Outputs Off feature overrides the channel enable control.
4. Mode selection Switches the instrument mode between AWG (arbitrary waveform generator) and Functions (basic
waveshape generator). Mode selection is available from the Home tab in both the AWG mode and the
Functions mode.
5. Workspace The workspace area shows the contents of the selected tab (such as, Home).
6. All outputs off The All Outputs Off button provides a quick disconnect of the analog, marker, and flag outputs, whether
those outputs are enabled or not. (All Outputs Off overrides the output enable controls.) The outputs are
electrically disconnected. When the All Outputs Off is disabled, the outputs return to their defined state.
