Setting a sample rate when not in the ARB mode will not change the frequency. For example, if the current func-
l
tion is sine, setting sample rate has no effect until the function changes to ARB.

See FUNCtion: ARBitrary for available arbitrary waveform options. With FUNCtion:ARBitrary, you may select a

built-in arbitrary waveform or the waveform currently downloaded to volatile memory using
Offset Voltage
The relationship between offset voltage and output amplitude is shown below. Vmax is the maximum peak voltage
l
for the selected output termination (5 V for a 50 Ω load or 10 V for a high-impedance load).
|Voffset| < Vmax - Vpp/2
If the specified offset voltage is not valid, the instrument will adjust it to the maximum DC voltage allowed with the
specified amplitude. From the remote interface, a "Data out of range" error will also be generated.
Limits Due to Output Termination: The offset range depends on the output termination setting. For example, if
l
you set offset to 100 mVDC and then change output termination from 50 Ω to "high impedance," the offset volt-
age displayed on the front panel doubles to 200 mVDC (no error is generated). If you change from "high imped-
ance" to 50 Ω, the displayed offset voltage will be halved. See

Outputs a DC voltage.
<frequency> not applicable to DC function. Must be specified as a placeholder; the value is remem-
bered when you change to a different function.
<amplitude> not applicable to DC function. Must be specified as a placeholder; the value is remem-
bered when you change to a different function.
<offset> is the DC offset voltage (default 0), from ±5 VDC into 50 Ω, or from ±10 VDC into an open cir-
cuit.
Output a DC voltage of -2.5 V:

Limits Due to Output Termination: The offset range depends on the output termination setting. For example, if
l
you set offset to 100 mVDC and then change output termination from 50 Ω to "high impedance," the offset volt-
age displayed on the front panel doubles to 200 mVDC (no error is generated). If you change from "high imped-
ance" to 50 Ω, the displayed offset voltage will be halved. See
termination setting does not change the voltage present at the output terminals of the instrument. This only
changes the displayed values on the front panel and the values queried from the remote interface. The voltage
present at the instrument's output depends on the load connected to the instrument. See
details.
