2.2.4 Back Panel
Back panel is shown in Figure 2-3:
2.3.1 Output Basic Waveform
2.3.2 Set Output Frequency
The default configuration of waveform is a sine wave with frequency of 1kHz and
peak-to-peak amplitude of 100mV (terminating at 50Ω) when powering on. One example for
changing frequency into 2.5MHz are as follows:
1. Press function key F1, when outline border in the display area is the color of
corresponding channel, and “Freq” character is white, “Period” tag is gray. If the current
frequency value is valid, the same frequency is used. Please press function key F1 again to
change to the set waveform period, when “Freq” character turns gray, “Period” character is
highlighted, and frequency and period can be switched.
