InfiniiVision 3000 X-Series: Access to WaveGen Menu

Hi all!

I am using an InfiniiVision DSOX3024A with the build-in DSOX3WAVEGEN function generator.
Can anyone give me a hint how to get access to the WaveGen menu without(!) activating the output channel at the same time?

Seems that you can get only access to the menu by pressing the WaveGen button. But this will also activate the output.
Thus there is a high risk of damaging your connected electronics if you misremember the last settings of the WaveGen.

Many thanks!

I don't think that's possible. My scope is more than 300 miles away at the moment, so I can't check anything. I think that the only solution is to disconnect the cable from the WaveGen output.

Hi!

Many thanks for your replies.

That's unfortunate.
So here are my suggestions for the next firmware upgrade :-)

a) A push on the WaveGen button activates the WveGen menu only (output still "off"). An own softkey allows for independly switching on and off the output channel.

or, alternatively:

b) A first push on the WaveGen button activates the WaveGen menu only (output still "off"). Further pushes on the WaveGen button toggles between off and on.

or, more general:

c) A first push on the WaveGen button activates the WaveGen menu only and leaves the state of the output as it was ("on" or "off"). In this way you can switch between different menues and go back to the WaveGen menu without altering the state of the output.

Thank you and best regards,
McWicht

  I passed this on to the people who can control this, and it has been entered as an enhancement request for the future. In general, the reaction was positive.
  
  Thanks for your comments.

  This might help. Set the wavegen output level to minmum (20mvPP) and the appropiate waveform. Then save it as an .scp (SETUP) file. I named the file "wavegen_min". When you recall the setup, it will recall it with the minimum value. Hopefully the minimum output won't damage the equipment.
