The P6-8080 is a unique instrument which uses modern digital electronics to synthesise an analogue
waveform. Since the signal is generated by a micro-processor which also controls the output
amplitude, wave profile and the displays there is perfect correlation between the displayed parameters
and the signal available at output sockets. The system also allows the full frequency range to be
covered with one control and no range switches.
Connect the instrument to its power supply using the low voltage connector on the right hand end
panel
and switch on by pressing the “1” of the ON/OFF switch on the same panel. The LCD display
should “light up” to pale blue with the frequency (1kHz initially) and amplitude settings displayed.
Connect an oscilloscope probe to the black and blue sockets on the end panel or an external
loudspeaker or vibration transducer etc. to the black and red sockets.
Adjust the amplitude control to a low setting. This control is a standard 270
0
potentiometer. Minimum
setting (0V pk to pk) is fully anti-
clockwise (7 o’clock) and maximum (24V pk to pk) is fully clockwise (5
o’clock).
Select the waveform profile required using the front panel switch.
Features
The instrument requires a 24V external d.c power supply
As provided. Do not use with any other supply.
