Setup Connection
9. Connect the function generator to the PC using a USB cable.
10. Power on the function generator.
11. Launch the
Agilent IO Control and the Agilent Measurement Manager (AMM) .
12. The Select USB Device dialog box will appear displaying the connected U2761A devices. To
start the application, select a U2761A device and click OK to establish the connection.
13. Click Output to enable or disable the output of the function generator after the desired
parameters are set.
14. The U2761A is able to output five standard waveforms that are Sine , Square , Ramp ,
Triangle , Pulse , and DC .
15. You can select one of the three built-in Arbitrary waveforms or create your own custom
waveforms.
16. You can also internally modulate Sine, Square, Ramp, Triangle, and Arbitrary waveforms
using AM , FM , PM , FSK , PSK , or ASK .
17. The linear or logarithmic frequency sweeping is available for Sine, Square, Ramp, Triangle,
and Arbitrary waveforms.
18. Table A- shows which output functions are allowed with modulation and sweep.
19. Each
√ indicates a valid combination. If you change to a function that is not applicable for
modulation, or sweep; then the modulation or mode will be disabled.
