What does the Phase in the FGEN Soft Front Panel Relate to?

Hardware: Signal Sources (AWG/FG/AO)

Problem:
I see knob to set the phase for a periodic waveform in the NI-FGEN Soft Front Panel, but what is this phase relative to?

Solution:
The phase dial in the Soft Front Panel is similar to the Start Phase of the NI-FGEN API. This property controls horizontal offset of the standard waveform the signal generator will produce. You specify this property in degrees of one waveform cycle.

A start phase of 180 degrees means output generation begins halfway through the waveform. A start phase of 360 degrees offsets the output by an entire waveform cycle, which is identical to a start phase of 0 degrees.
