BASIC OPERATION

MULTIFUNCTION GENERATOR

4.3.5 Changing the display unit

a) Changing the prefix (unit prefix: k, m, M, etc.)

Frequency is used as an example below. The amplitude and pulse width can be changed in a
similar manner.

1.

Select frequency and then press the
ENTER key to open the input field.

2.

Press the [Prefix] soft key and the cursor
will move to before “Hz”.
The right arrow key can also be used to
move the cursor to before “Hz”.

3.

Change the unit to MHz, kHz, Hz, mHz, or uHz with the
up/down arrow keys or the modify knob. Even when the
display unit and decimal point position are changed, the
value of the setting itself remains unchanged.

The input field 
opens.

ENTER

The cursor 
moves to before 
“Hz” when 
[Prefix] is 
pressed.

Unit change

or
