5. Use the Arbitrary Function Generator
The oscilloscope contains an integrated arbitrary function generator (25 MHz,
single-channel). The function generator provides 4 basic waveforms (sine, square, ramp,
and pulse) and 46 built-in arbitrary waveforms (Noise, Exponential rise, Exponential fall,
Sin(x)/x, Staircase, etc.). You can create a user-definable waveform and save it to internal
storage or USB device.
Output Connection
Push the Utility button, select Function in the bottom menu, select Output in the left
menu. In the bottom menu, select Type, in the right menu, select AG Output.
Connect the BNC cable to the port marked Out in the back of the oscilloscope.
To see the output of the generator, connect the other end of the BNC cable to one of the
input channels on the front of the oscilloscope.
To Set Channels
Push to turn on/off the channel output. The indicator will be lighted when the
corresponding channel is tuned on.
To Set Signals
(1) Push button to show the bottom menu of generator.
(2) Select the desired waveform in the bottom menu, the corresponding menu is displayed
on the right.
(3) The parameters can be set in the right menu.
To Output Sine Signals
The parameters of Sine waveform in the right menu are: Frequency/Period, Start Phase,
Amplitude/High Level, Offset/Low Level.
To Set the Frequency
Select Frequency in the right menu (if Frequency is not displayed, select Period and
push it again to switch to Frequency). Set the parameter in the right menu, see below.
Three methods to change the chosen parameter:
 Turn the M knob to change the value of cursor position. Press / direction
key to move the cursor.
 Use the input keyboard: Push the M knob, an input keyboard will pop up. Turn the
