Help menu key
The Help menu key allows access to the following information:
•
View remote command error: Error messages are issued when an incorrect remote
command is sent to the instrument for output. These are stored in a queue and can be
retrieved in the first-in-first-out (FIFO) order.
•
Get HELP on any key: You can view a short description of any front-panel key by pressing
and holding the key for a few seconds.
•
Generate a DC voltage level: Instructions are provided for you to enable the DC-only
voltage level option.
•
Generate a modulated waveform: Follow the instructions provided to produce a

output functions (with the exception of DC and noise) can be associated with a sync-out
signal. The signal is delivered at the Sync connector on the front panel.
•
Output Setup: This key contains a number of different parameters. The output termination
setting can be changed, voltage auto ranging can be turned on and off, waveform polarity
can be specified as normal or inverted, the phase offset of the output waveform can be
adjusted, and lastly, the 10 MHz time base output can be turned on and off.
