Output Units

Applies to output amplitude only. At power-on, the units for output
amplitude are volts peak-to-peak.
• Output units: Vpp, Vrms, or dBm. The default is Vpp.
• The unit setting is stored in volatile memory; the units are set to
"Vpp" when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
• The function generator uses the current units selection for both front
panel and remote interface operations. For example, if you select
"VRMS" from the remote interface, the units are displayed as
"VRMS" on the front panel.
• The output units for amplitude cannot be set to dBm if the output
termination is currently set to "high impedance". The units are
automatically converted to Vpp.
• Front-Panel Operation: Use the numeric keypad to enter the desired
magnitude and then press the appropriate softkey to select the units.
You can also convert from one unit to another from the front panel.
For example, to convert 2 Vpp to its equivalent value in Vrms,
press and then press the V
707.1 mVrms for a sine wave.
• Remote Interface Operation:
VOLTage:UNIT {VPP|VRMS|DBM}

softkey. The converted value is
RMS
