Output Mode
Press Arb  Mode to set arbitrary waveform output mode to “Normal” or “Play”.
The generator adopts DDS to generate waveform data in “Normal” mode. In this case,
you can change the phase step of the sampling by changing the Frequency (Period).
However, the sample rate is fixed. To change the sample rate, you should use the
“Play” mode.
Normal Mode
In this mode, the generator can output internal waveforms which are defined on line
by users or downloaded from PC after edited on PC software. Waveforms stored in a
USB flash device can also be read and outputted. The output frequency ranges from 1
μHz to 50 MHz, and the sample rate is fixed at 1G Sa/s, while the number of points is
16Mpts.
As shown in the figure below, press Mode and select “Normal”, and then press
Freq/Period to change the frequency.
