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.

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.
