To Set Output Amplitude

The default amplitude for all functions is 100 mVpp (into 50 ohms). The
procedure to set a new amplitude value is described as follows.

Figure 3-5

Front-panel Operation

1. Select your desired function by pressing one of the function keys.
2. Press the softkey under Ampl/High and make sure Ampl is

highlighted. Use the numeric keypad or the knob with cursor keys
to change the value.


Remote Interface Operation
VOLTage {<amplitude>|MINimum|MAXImum}

Use this command to set units:
VOLTage:UNIT {VPP|VRMS|DBM}

Notes

• Specifying a high (voltage) level and a low level (Section 3.7) is

equivalent to specifying amplitude and DC offset (Section 3.6).
For example, if you set the high level to +2 volts and the low level
to -3 volts, the resulting amplitude will be 5 Vpp, with an offset
voltage at -0.5 V.
