How to use
The General page displays the following parameters:
- Control Status
- Selected Input
- Frequency
- DC Output
- Alarm Status
The Offset Status page displays both read and write parameters for DC Offset and Display Level Offset. The result of DC Offset changes may be the saturation of the DC output voltage at one of the DC supply rails of the applicable operational amplifiers (±15 V). Changing the Display Level Offset directly affects the level display on the front panel.
