Clicking in the tree view displays the Signal Generator Settings table in the parameter view of the main window. The parameters in this section affect how the signal generator outputs the waveform, but have no effect on waveform generation. You can also change these settings either from the instrument's front panel or using SCPI commands. For more detailed information on setting these parameters, see EXG/MXG, and ESG product information.
If you are connected to an E6640A EXM, refer to Instrument (E6640A).
Press this button to send the software parameters to the connected instrument.
Press this button to retrieve the parameters from the connected instrument.
Press this button to deactivate remote operation and return the signal generator to local (front panel) control.
Press this button to set the signal generator to a known state, either factory-defined or user-defined.
Refer to the signal generator's user's guide for information on setting a user-defined state.
Press this button to execute an I/Q DC Calibration to minimize errors associated with offset voltages.
DC Cal minimizes I/Q offset errors for a single frequency only, and must be repeated if the signal generator's settings change.

Press this button to execute a manual power search calibration.
This is an internal calibration routine that improves output power accuracy when ALC is off. A power search is recommended for pulse-modulated signals with pulse-widths less than two microseconds.
