B. Signal Generator Controls: 850 Output 1
In the Capstone
Signal Generator
panel, click the
850 Output 1
drop down menu.
The
Signal Generator
850 Output 1
panel shows the
following controls:
Please see the online PASCO Capstone User’s Guide for
detailed information about these
Signal Generator
functions.
•
Waveform
. Sine (default), Square, Triangle, Positive
Ramp, Negative Ramp, and DC.
•
Sweep Type
: Off (default), Single, Repeat, Bidirectional
•
Frequency
: Default: 1000 Hz; Range: 0.001 to 100 kilohertz* for AC waveforms
•
Amplitude
: Default: 1 V; Range: 0 to 15 V, depending on
Voltage Limit
.
•
Voltage Offset
: Default: 0 V; Range: 0 to 15 V, depending on
Voltage Limit.
•
Voltage Limit
: Default: 15 V. Range: 0 to 15 V.
•
Current Limit
: 1.50 A (default), 1.10 A, and 0.55 A.
•
On, Off, Auto:
On
starts the
Signal Generator
whether or not the Interface is recording
data;
Off
(default) stops the
Signal Generator
; and
Auto
starts and stops the
Signal
Generator
when the Interface starts and stops recording data.
*NOTE: The upper limit for the sine wave is 150 kHz. Although the
Frequency
text area goes
up to 200000 Hz, the signal output above 150 kHz is diminished by about 50%.
Adjusting the Signal Generator Controls
Frequency
,
Amplitude
,
Voltage Offset
, and
Voltage Limit
can be adjusted in more than one
way.
