3 Features and Functions
– Arbitrary Waveform Limitations: For arbitrary waveforms, the maximum offset
– You can also set the offset by specifying a high level and low level.
– For dc volts, the output level is actually controlled by setting the offset
– Front-Panel Operation: To set the dc offset, press the Offset softkey for the

and amplitude will be limited if the waveform data points do not span the full
range of the output DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter). For example, the built-in
"Sinc" waveform does not use the full range of values between ±1 and
therefore its maximum offset is limited to 4.95 volts (into 50 ohms).
For example, if you set the high level to +2 volts and the low level to
-3 volts, the resulting amplitude is 5 Vpp (with an offset voltage of
-500 mV).
voltage. You can set the dc level to any value between ±5 Vdc into 50 ohms or
±10 Vdc into an open circuit.
To select dc volts from the front panel, press
softkey. Press the Offset softkey to set the desired offset voltage level.
selected function. Then use the knob or numeric keypad to enter the desired
offset. To set the offset using a high level and low level, press the Offset
softkey again to toggle to the HiLevel and LoLevel softkeys.
VOLTage:OFFSet {<offset>|MINimum|MAXimum}
Or, you can set the offset by specifying a high level and low level using the
following commands.
VOLTage:HIGH {<voltage>|MINimum|MAXimum}
VOLTage:LOW {<voltage>|MINimum|MAXimum}
You can also use the APPLy command to select the function, frequency,
amplitude, and offset with a single command.
and then select the DC On
