To Set the Frequency/Period
Frequency is one of the most important parameters of basic waveforms. For different instrument models and waveforms, the available ranges of frequency are different. For detailed information, please refer to ―SDG2000X Datasheet‖. The default frequency is 1kHz.
1. Press Waveforms → Sine → Frequency, to set the frequency parameter.
The frequency shown on the screen when the instrument is powered on is the default value or the set value of last power down. If Period (rather than Frequency) is the desired parameter, press Frequency/Period again to enter
the Period mode. The current value for the waveform‘s period is now
displayed in inverse color. Press the Frequency/Period key once again to return to the Frequency entry mode.
2. Input the desired frequency.
Use the numeric keyboard to input the parameter value directly, and press the corresponding key to select the parameter unit. Or use the arrow keys to select the digit to edit, and then use the knob to change its value.
Figure 2-2 Setting the Frequency
Note:
When using the numeric keyboard to enter the value, the left arrow key can be used to move the cursor backward and delete the value of the previous digit.
SDG2000X User Manual 19
To Set the Amplitude
The amplitude setting range is limited by the ―Load‖ and ―Frequency/Period‖ settings. For detailed information, please refer to ―SDG2000X Datasheet‖.
1. Press Waveforms → Sine → Amplitude, to set the amplitude.
The amplitude shown on the screen when the instrument is powered on is the default value or the set value of last power down. If setting the waveform‘s high level is desired, press the Amplitude/HighLevel key again to switch into the high level parameter (the current operation is displayed in inverse color).
2. Input the desired amplitude.
Use the numeric keyboard to input the parameter value directly, and press the corresponding key to select the parameter unit. Or use the arrow keys to select the digit to edit, and then use the knob to change its value.
Figure 2-3 Setting the Amplitude
To Set the Offset
The offset setting range is limited by the ―Load‖ and ―Amplitude/HighLevel‖ settings. For detailed information, please refer to ―SDG2000X Datasheet‖. The default value is 0Vdc.
