These buttons control the function generator’s onscreen interface. Top Menu The AFG3000 Series has a menu-based system for viewing or changing various instrument settings. The menus use a branching tree design, so this button returns to the top-most level of the menu tree. - Page 8 Tektronix AFG3000 Series Function Generator Guide v1.0 Portland State University ► Keypad The keypad is used for entering or editing numeric values. 0 – 9 . Digit and decimal point buttons are used for numeric input. +/– The +/– button toggles the sign of a number from positive to negative or from negative to positive.

Page 9: Function Buttons
The Duty/Width and Leading/Trailing buttons only work when Pulse is the selected function. The AFG3000 Series does not have a function button dedicated to the triangle waveform. Instead, the Ramp Parameter bezel menu has three options for symmetry: 0% (rising ramp), 50% (triangle), and 100% (falling ramp) -
