Operating basics
Quick tutorial: How to generate a sine waveform
If you are a beginning user, follow the steps described here to learn how
to
generate a continuous sine waveform.
1.
Connect the power
cord, and then push
the front-panel
power button to turn
on the instrument.
2.
Connect a BNC cable
from the Channel
Output of the
arbitrary/function
generator to an
oscilloscope input
connector.
3.
Push the
front-panel Sine
button.
4.
The default run
mode is
Continuous after
power- on. If it is
not at Continuous
mode, push the
front-panel Mod
button, and then
press the bezel
button to select
Continuous
among the four run
modes.
5.
Push the front-panel
Channel On/Off
button to enable the
output. The
backlight should turn
on.
6.
Use the oscilloscope
auto-scaling function
to display the sine
waveform on the
screen.
If the instrument
outputs a default
sine waveform,
manually set the
oscilloscope as
follows:
500 us/div
400 mV/div
