5. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
HOW TO MEASURE THE DIFFERENT WAVEFORMS ?
5.1. TO SET SINE WAVEFORM
Press
[Waveforms]
key to select the
waveform
function and then press the
[Sine softkey]
. The sine waveform parameters are
set by using the sine operation menu.
The parameters available for sine waveforms include frequency/period, amplitude/high level, offset/low level and phase. Different
sine signals can be generated by setting these parameters.
As shown in Figure 20, in the soft key menu, select Frequency. The frequency parameter area is highlighted in the parameter
display window, and users can set the frequency value here.

Explanations
Frequency / Period
Set the signal frequency or period. The current parameter will be switched with a second press.
Amplitude / HighLevel
Set the signal amplitude or high level. The current parameter will be switched with a second press.
Offset/LowLevel
Set the signal offset or low level. The current parameter will be switched with a second press.
Phase
Set the phase of the signal.

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 specifications.
The default frequency is 1 kHz.
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.
