Getting Started Manual
Generating Continuous Signals
Select SINE on the function keys, if it is not already selected.
If there is no signal at the oscilloscope input it will almost certainly be because the generator's output is switched off. If the lamp next to the MAIN OUT socket is not lit, press the OUTPUT key. The AUX OUT socket is always on.
Press the right FIELD key to put the cursor in the numeric part of the top line and move the cursor a couple of digits to the right with the right DIGIT key. You can experiment with the rotary control to adjust the frequency setting.
You can also experiment with entering frequencies using the numeric keypad, and with using the DIGIT key to adjust the frequency in decades; to do this, put the cursor under the rightmost (units) field.
Set a frequency, for example 12.5 kHz
You can do this by either of the methods above.
The easiest is probably to key
FREQ/PER, 1, 2, ., 5, kHz, ENTER.
The display should look like this:
FREQ=12.50000kHz
VhiZ=+20.0 Vpp 50Ω
DC=+0.00mV (+0.00mV)
SYM=50.0% (50.0%)
You can also view and edit in terms of period.
Move the cursor into the first field and press one of the DIGIT keys.
The display should change to:
PER =80.00000us
VhiZ=+20.0 Vpp 50Ω
DC=+0.00mV (+0.00mV)
SYM=50.0% (50.0%)
12
