DC Offset Voltage
At power-on, the dc offset is set to 0 volts. You can set the offset to a
positive or negative number with the restrictions shown below. If the
specified offset voltage is not valid, the function generator will
automatically adjust it to the maximum dc voltage allowed with the
present amplitude. (Vmax is either 10 volts for a high impedance
termination or 5 volts for a 50 ohm termination; Vpp is the output
amplitude in volts peak-to-peak.)

is adjusted. From the remote interface, a -221, "Settings conflict" error is
generated and the offset is adjusted.
• DC Offset and Output Termination: The offset voltage is automatically
adjusted (and no error is generated) if you change the output
termination. For example, if you set the offset to 100 mVdc and then
change the termination from 50 ohms to "high impedance", the
displayed offset will double to 200 mVdc. If you change from "high
impedance" to 50 ohms, the displayed offset will drop in half.
See "Output Termination" on page 65 for more information.
• For dc volts, the output level is actually controlled by setting the
offset voltage. You can set the dc voltage to any value between
±
into 50 ohms or
10 Vdc into an open circuit.
