1. Press PARAMETER to display the Parameter menu.
2. Press F3:AMPL to select the Amplitude parameter.
3. Use the rotary knob to set the amplitude.
4. Press F:OFST again to select the Offset parameter.
3.13.5 Setting the Output Frequency
To set the output frequency:
1. Press PARAMETER to select the Frequency parameter.

3.14 Examples
3.14.1 Creating an Arbitrary Waveform
You can create an arbitrary waveform using the following methods:
* Enter individual data points
* Draw lines between data points
* Create a predefined waveform
* Export waveform from software
* Create data points using SCPI commands
* Combine any of these methods
The waveform’s frequency and amplitude are influenced by the number of data points and their value in the waveform. For
further information on how the number of data points influence the frequency and amplitude of a waveform in execution
memory, see Setting the Frequency portion (Section 3.14.3) and Setting the Amplitude portion (Section 3.14.4), respectively.
3.14.2 Entering Individual Data Points
The most basic way to program an arbitrary waveform is to enter data points for the waveform, one data point at a time. While
this can become tedious, the auto-increment function helps this process.
To enter individual data points into waveform memory, follow these steps:
1. Press WAVEFORM main key to display the selection menu.
2. Press F5: ARB to display the arbitrary menu.
3. Press F4:EDIT to display the Edit menu.
4. Press F1:POINT, to select the point by point programming mode.
5. Press F1:ADRS
6. Use the rotary knob or the numerical keypad to enter the address.
7. Press F2:DATA.
8. Use the rotary knob or the numerical keypad to enter the value for the data point. Valid entries range from
–8191 to 8191.
9. Repeat steps 5 through 8 for additional points until you finish creating your arbitrary waveform.
Note: Each time you press ENTER to complete a data point entry in numerical mode, the auto-increment address
advances the "A= value" by one.
