Shortcut Buttons

Knob and Arrow Keys

The following six buttons are called Shortcut buttons and are provided as shortcuts for experienced users. You can push this button while viewing any of the display types. If you are not in view format 1, 2, or 3 (see page 1-3), pushing the shortcut button will take you to the last view you used and highlight the selected setting.

Frequency/Period button. This button selects the setting that was last used (Frequency or Period). If Frequency was selected, you can change the shortcut by selecting Period with the bezel menu. The next time you push the Frequency/Period button, Period will be selected. This shortcut button allows you to select the setting and enter their numeric value using the front panel, without requiring any bezel menu selection.

Amplitude/High button. This button selects the setting that was last used (Amplitude or High Level).

Offset/Low button. This button selects the setting which was last used (Offset or

Low Level).

Duty/Width button. This button only operates when the Pulse function is selected for the current channel. Otherwise, the button does nothing when pushed. The instrument remembers which setting (Duty or Width) was last selected from the bezel menu and highlights that setting when this shortcut button is pushed.

Leading/Trailing button. This button only operates when the Pulse function is selected for the current channel, otherwise, the button does nothing when pushed. The instrument remembers which setting (Leading Edge or Trailing Edge) was last selected from the bezel menu and highlights that setting when this shortcut button is pushed.

Phase | Delay button. This shortcut button is different from the other buttons. This button does not toggle between two parameters. For example, if you push the Phase | Delay shortcut button in the pulse parameter menu, Delay becomes active. Pushing the Phase | Delay button again will have no effect, because there is no Phase parameter in the pulse parameter menu. Similarly, when you push the Phase | Delay button in the Sine, Square, or Ramp parameter menu, Phase becomes active. Pushing the button again will have no effect, because there is no Delay parameter in these menus.

The general purpose knob can be used to increase and decrease selected numeric values. The arrow keys (digit select keys) are used to move the underbar to a field that contains an editable number. This will allow you to change the digit with the knob. Refer to page 1-15 for entering or changing numeric values using the knob and the arrow keys.

To output a user-defined waveform, you have two options:

Output the contents of Edit Memory

Output one of user-defined waveforms stored in the internal or in a USB memory

To output a user-defined waveform, you must first save the file in the internal or USB memory. You can save up to four user-defined waveforms in the internal waveform memory. Waveform data in the Edit Memory can also be output, but the contents of Edit Memory is deleted when the instrument power is turned off.

NOTE. When the arbitrary/function generator outputs an Arb waveform, the peak-to-peak voltage of the measurement result is the same as the setup value if the waveform data is normalized.

Amplitude Modulation. Amplitude modulation is a modulation technique in which the amplitude of the carrier frequency is modified by the amplitude of the modulating waveform (internal or external modulation source).

The modulation depth is expressed as a percentage and represents the extent of the amplitude variation.

Frequency Modulation. Frequency modulation is a modulation technique in which the carrier frequency is modified by the amplitude of the modulating waveform.

The carrier frequency must always be greater than or equal to the deviation. Also the sum of the carrier frequency and deviation must be less than or equal to the maximum frequency for the selected waveform.

Reference

Phase Modulation. Phase modulation is similar to FM (Frequency modulation), but in PM, the phase of the carrier waveform is varied by the amplitude of the modulating waveform.

Frequency Shift Keying. Frequency shift keying modulation is a modulation technique that shifts the output signal frequency between two frequencies: the carrier frequency and the FSK Hop frequency.

Pulse Width Modulation. Pulse width modulation is a modulation technique in which the width of a pulse waveform is varied by the voltage of the modulating waveform.

Figure 2-2: Frequency sweep

The instrument sweeps from a low frequency to a high frequency when start frequency is set to be lower than stop frequency (start frequency < stop frequency).

The instrument sweeps from a high frequency to a low frequency when start frequency is set to be higher than stop frequency.

The frequency range differs based on the selected waveform types. For frequency sweep, you can select a sine, square, ramp, or arbitrary waveform. Pulse, DC, and Noise waveforms cannot be selected.

You can select one of the following two operation modes:

Repeat. A continuous sweep is output at a rate specified by the sweep time, hold time, and return time.

Trigger. One sweep waveform is output when a trigger input is received.

You can select a trigger source from an external signal applied to the front-panel Trigger Input connector, the trigger signal generated internally, the manual trigger, or the remote interface.
