To Set Frequency/Period
Frequency is one of the most important parameters of basic waveforms. For different
instrument models and waveforms, the setting ranges of frequency are different. The
default frequency is 1 kHz.

The frequency displayed on the screen is the default value or the frequency
previously set. When the instrument function is changed, if this frequency is valid
under the new function, the instrument will still use this frequency; otherwise, the
instrument would display a prompt message and set the frequency to the frequency
upper limit of the new function automatically.
Tap the Freq parameter input field to input the desired frequency value with the
numeric keypad, then select the unit. Tap "Ok".

The frequency units available are MHz, kHz, Hz, mHz, and μHz.

You can also use the arrow keys and the knob to set the parameter value: press
down the knob to enter the editing mode, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to
select the digit to be edited, and then rotate the knob to modify the value. Besides,
you can use the knob to switch between different parameters.
