1. Push the softkey WAVE to select the necessary waveform: sine waves (sine), triangle
waves (tri), square waves (square), or truncated sine wave (truncs).
2. Push the softkey OFFSET, opening the offset entry display. Record the necessary
offset with the numeric keys and decimal point key. For example, 0.123 V (see
below).
3. Push the key to record the offset and then .
Edit and Error Output Settings
You can edit all Calibrator outputs with the front-panel Edit Field knob and , ,
and . Also, and edit the output by decades. The difference in the initial
output (reference) and edited output is shown as an "error" between the two positions.
This lets you edit a value to get a correct measurement at the UUT and calculate an error
in ±% or ppm (parts per million) if it is less than ±1000 ppm. Table 4-2 shows the actions
that make the Calibrator exit the error mode and go to the initial reference output, or to
output a new reference, as selected.

Edit the Output Setting
When you initially source an output from the Calibrator, you record a value, for
example, 10.00000 V dc. To edit the output value for your operation, turn the front-panel
Edit Field knob clockwise to increase the value or counter-clockwise to decrease the
value. (The Edit Field controls will not operate if you are in a setup function. Push
one or more times to exit a setup function.)
