Getting Started

Using the Instrument

Saving and Recalling Settings

Having done all this work it would be wise to save the
settings for future use. You can do this simply by pressing
the STORE key, followed by a number in the range 1 to 9
and the ENTER key. Store 0 is reserved for the factory
default settings. You can recall the set-up at any time
using the RECALL key.

Arbitrary Waveforms

Arbitrary waveforms are best defined on a PC and
downloaded to the instrument via the RS232 or GPIB
interface. Each is identified by a name with up to 16
characters.

Several commonly-used waveforms are available from the
internal read-only memory (ROM) and can be recalled by
pressing the EDIT then the ARB keys.

The display will look something like this:

RECALL ARB No: 14
SINX/X

ENTER TO EXECUTE


Or possibly like this:

RECALL ARB No: 03
ARB 03 IS EMPTY

ENTER TO EXECUTE


The ROM is used for the factory-preset waveforms 06 to
21 inclusive, and the internal non-volatile RAM is used for

23
