Set the High and Low Levels
•
Press the soft-key labelled Ampl - the key label changes to HiLvl and the current high level
voltage appears in the edit box
Note that successive presses of the Ampl soft-key changes the Ampl and Offset key labels to
HiLvl (high level) and LoLvl (low level) and vice versa.
•
Use the numeric keypad to enter a new level. Press the numbers 2 . 7 .
Note that, as soon as a number is entered, the soft-keys change to show units of voltage.
•
Press the soft-key labelled V to confirm a high level of 2.7 volts.
•
Press the soft-key labelled LoLvl - the current low level voltage appears in the edit box.
•
Use the numeric keypad to enter a new level. Press - . 6
•

Requirement
In the earlier set-up examples it was shown how the output menu is used to set the output level (amplitude
plus offset or high level plus low level) and turn the output on or off. This example demonstrates the
setting of output phase, output polarity, load impedance and voltage auto-range.
Starting Conditions
Before starting, reset the instrument to defaults as described in section 4.1 Initial Conditions .
Open the Output Menu
•
Press the soft-key marked Output
Change the Output Phase
•
