Setting the Signal Amplitude
Application
The signal amplitude can be entered in different forms:
V
pp
- as a peak-to-peak value in volts
V
rms
- as an rms value in volts
dBm
- as a power value in decibels
Setting the signal
amplitude as a
peak-to-peak
value V
pp
1.
In the
submenu
press the
function key
.
An entry field containing the current setting is displayed. The default
setting is 2 V.
2.
Enter a new value ( 5-55).
The permissible entry range for the peak-to-peak with a terminating
resistance of 50
Ω
is:
1 mV
≤
V
pp
≤
10 V in 0.1 mV steps
Level display
The new setting is stored and then displayed in the diagram area. The
divisions on the level axis (grid lines) change in accordance with the
amplitude setting.
The currently applicable signal amplitude is displayed in the parameter
field below the channel name CH1 or CH2, e.g. for CH1 "Ampl: 5 V
pp
".
Restricting the
value range
The entry range for the signal amplitude can be restricted by the
following parameters:
DC component DC OFFSET ( 6-81)
Limitation of output voltage LOWER/UPPER LIMIT
( 6-83)
Vpp
