Offset Only, No Ac Function; Ac With Dc Offset - HP 3324A Operating And Programming Manual

Offset Only, No AC
Function

AC with DC Offset

When the DC function is activated in the waveform
menu (see Chapter 6), then no AC function is activated.
The DC voltage output may then be programmed from 0
When DC offset is added to any AC function, there are
minimum and maximum offset limits which must be
observed. These limits are affected by the AC voltage
and internal attenuator settings listed in Table 5-4.
Resolution of a DC offset entry (with AC function) is
determined by the resolution of the AC amplitude. The
following equation may be used to determine maximum
offset voltage:
Maximum DC offset = (5/A) - (Amptd/2)
where A = Attenuation factor (from Table 5-6) and
Amptd = Amplitude in V(p-p) of the AC function.
If a DC offset too large for the amplitude already
programmed is entered or if the AC amplitude is
increased beyond the level where the amplitude and
offset are compatible, the error "ampl/offs incomp"
appears in the display momentarily, and the entry value
is not accepted.
