Output
Amplitude
When setting the amplitude, MINimum,
MAXimum and DEFault can be used instead of
specifying an amplitude. The range depends on
the function being used. The default amplitude for
all functions is 100 mVpp (into 50Ω).
Vrms, dBm or Vpp units can be used to specify the
output units to use with the current command.
Note, however, that the VOLT:UNIT command
can be used to set the default units (Vrms, dBm,
Vpp) for all commands. This will be applicable to
the Apply command when no unit is specified. The
unit default is set to Vpp.
The output amplitude can be affected by the
function and unit chosen. Vpp and Vrms or dBm
values may have different maximum values due to
differences such as crest factor. For example, a
5Vrms square wave will be adjusted to 3.536 Vrms
for a sine wave.
DC Offset voltage
The offset parameter can be set to MINimum,
MAXimum or DEFault instead of a specified DC
offset value. The default DC offset is 0 volts.
The maximum and minimum DC offset is limited
by the output amplitude as shown below.
