Set Oscillator Frequency
To change the Oscillator frequency, enter the bit multiplier. The bit multiplier, which is
an integer, is determined by the following formula:
Frequency = (Hz/bit) X (bit multiplier)

Set Amplitude
To change the Oscillator amplitude, enter the bit multiplier. The bit multiplier, which is
an integer, is determined by the following formula:
Amplitude = (V/bit) X (bit multiplier)

Configuring a Simulation Channel as a Sine Reference
Oscillator
Any simulation channel can be used as a sine reference oscillator by providing a DC
voltage as the board's reference input. The specific channel is programmed to
dynamic mode, simulating a constant rotation. The programmed rotation speed
corresponds to a frequency of the AC output waveform, and results in a time-varying
voltage waveform. For detailed information on the setup, see Application Note
