Example 2: Generate a Square Waveform
Generate a square waveform with 5kHz frequency, 2 Vpp amplitude, 1 V DC offset and 30%
duty cycle.
Set the frequency.
1.
Press Waveforms → Square → Frequency/Period and choose Frequency, which will display
in a blue color.
2.
Input ‘5’ from the keyboard and choose the unit ‘kHz’. The frequency is set to 5 kHz.
Set the Amplitude.
1.
Press Amplitude/HighLevel to choose Amplitude which will display in a blue color.
2.
Input ‘2’ from the keyboard and choose the unit ‘Vpp’. The amplitude is set to 2 Vpp.
Set the Offset.
1.
Press Offset/LowLevel to choose Offset which will display in a blue color.
2.
Input ‘1’ from the keyboard and choose the unit ‘Vdc’. The offset is set to 1 V DC.
Set the DutyCycle.
1.
Press DutyCycle to choose DutyCycle which will display in a blue color.
2.
Input ‘30’ from the keyboard and choose the unit ‘%’. The duty is set to 30%.
When the frequency, amplitude, offset and duty cycle are set, the waveform generated is
shown in Figure 75.
