Function Waveform Generator Mode

Setting the Output Waveform

The following procedure is used to set the output waveform for a channel.

Selecting the Channel 1. Press the ªChannelº button in the bottom menu and select the channel.

The ªChannelº item is used to select the channel for which the waveform and its output parameters will be set. The waveform for the selected channel is displayed enclosed in a frame. If the instrument does not have the Option 02, only CH1 is displayed.

Selecting the Waveform 2. Press the bottom button corresponding to the desired type of waveform (Sine, Triangle, Square, Ramp or Pulse).

Setting the Output 3. Select the output parameter item from the side menu and enter a value. For

Parameters details, see ªSetting the Output Parameters for the Waveformº on the next page.

Waveform Output 4. Press the On/Off button for the channel to which the waveform is to be output. The selected waveform will be continuously output to that channel.

NOTE. In FG mode, the operation mode is always Cont, meaning that waveforms are output continuously.

Setting the Output Parameters for the Waveform

The output parameter items are the same for each waveform. However, Pulse has one extra side menu item, Duty.

NOTE. Frequency item is common for all channels. Amplitude, Offset and

Polarity items are set separately for each channel.

The following sections will focus on each of the items in the side menu for each waveform type.

Setting the Frequency The frequency is set with a 4-digit number from 10.00 Hz to 2.500 MHz using the numeric keys or the general purpose knob. Waveform periods(Period) are displayed at the bottom of the screen.
