Features and Functions

Function Limitation

If you change to a function where the maximum frequency is less than the current function, the frequency will be adjusted to the maximum value for the new function.

For example, if you are currently outputting a 20 MHz sine wave and then change to the Ramp function, the U2761A will automatically adjusts the output frequency to 200 kHz (the upper limit for Ramp).

Amplitude Limitation

If you change to a function where the maximum amplitude is less than the current function, the amplitude will automatically be adjusted to the maximum value for the new function. This may occur when the output units are Vrms or dBm due to the differences in crest factor for the various output functions.

For example, if you output a 2.5 Vrms Square wave (into 50 Ω) and then change to the Sine wave function, the U2761A will automatically be adjusted the output amplitude to 1.768 Vrms (the upper limit for Sine wave in Vrms).
