How to set the phase of a Agilent 33120a function generator?

[zebro]

I am trying to set a phase of a waveform for a Agilent 33120a function generator, but the "configure standard waveform.vi" does not have a option to set the phase, it only has options to set the frequency and amplitude, any one could help?

Does your Agilent allow you to set the phase using the (real hardware) frontpanel with its buttons?

Does the manual of your Agilent mention any commands to set such a phase parameter?

Some of the Agilent VIs tend to do "too much" for some uses.

If they do not have a particular VI for the function you need, look at the supplied VIs and see how they format and send commands.  Consult the programmer manual for the syntax for the command you need.  Copy one of the more basic VIs, modify it with the needed command, and try to send it, (e.g., BM:PHAS 20 or some such for burst mode 20°),
