  Channel Signal 
Select the signals of analog channel (CH1-CH4) turned on currently for output. 
Press Select  CHSignal to set the desired channel signal. 
― Press Source to select the waveform of any of the channels turned on 
(CH1-CH4).  
― Press WaveRange to set the waveform in the “Cursor” or “Screen” region 
for output. When “Cursor” is selected, Press CursorA or CursorB and use 
 to adjust the positions of the two orange cursor lines respectively; or 
press CursorAB and rotat   to adjust the positions of cursors A and B at 
the same time.  
― Press Probe to set the probe ratio when the analog channel signal is 
recalled. You can select “0.1X”, “0.2X”, “0.5X”, “1X”, “2X” or “5X”. For 
example, if the selected analog channel amplitude is 10 VPP and the probe 
ratio is “0.5X”, the amplitude of the arbitray waveform recalled is 5 VPP. 
― Pressing Load can recall the channel signal selected. 
You can also edit the waveform currently selected; For the details, refer to the 
introduction in “To Edit Waveform”. 
To Create Waveform 
Users can create arbitrary waveforms according to their needs. Press Create to 
enter the waveform creation menu. 
1.  Set the Initial Points 
Initial points refers to the number of editable points. By default, the number of 
editable points of arbitrary waveform created can be prset to 2 points. Point 1 is 
fixed at 0 s and point 2 is fixed at the middle of the period. Press InitPoint to 
set the number of editable points of the new waveform. For the setting method, 
please refer to the introduction in “
Parameter Setting Method”. The arbitrary 
waveform can contain up to 16384 (16 kpts) points.  
2.  Interpolation 
Press Interp to turn on or off the interpolation mode between the points of the 
arbitrary waveform. 
  ON: the waveform editor connects two points using a straight line.
