3.2 Display Window

The function generator has a color LCD display that can display up to 400 x 240 dots. When powering on

the unit, sine waveform is selected and current settings will appear in the display. The bottom of the display

shows a menu (selectable with function keys) that corresponds to the function, parameter, or mode display

selected.

3.3 Front Panel Controls

The front-panel controls select, display, and change parameter, function, and mode settings.

Use the numerical keypad, rotary input knob and the cursor movement keys to enter data into the

waveform generator.

To change a setting:

1. Press the key that leads to the item to change.

2. Move cursor using cursor keys to the appropriate position in the numeric field (if applicable).

3. Use the rotary input or the numerical keyboard to change the value of the displayed item. Changes take

effect immediately.

3.4 Connectors

The function generator has two BNC connectors on the front panel where you can connect coaxial cables.

These coaxial cables serve as carrier lines for output signals delivered from the function generator.

Output Connector

Use this connector to transfer the main output signal from the function generator.

Trig In Connector

Use this connector to apply an external trigger or gate signal, depending on the waveform generator

setting, to the generator. When the built-in frequency counter is enabled, this connector becomes an input

for the counter.

Sync Out Connector

Use this connector to output a positive TTL sync pulse generated at each waveform cycle.
