3.2.4 Frequency setting
: The upper frequency limit of Sine is related to instrument model, while
other wave’s frequency is also limited influenced by sampling rate and channel band width (details
see Chapter5). When the waveform is changing, if the current frequency exceeds the specified
upper frequency limits, instrument will modify it automatically to upper frequency limits. All
waveforms’ lowest frequency is 1µHz.
Except Sine, other waveform’s highest frequency limitation is flexible. When the frequency is
rising up, step waveform’s overshoot will increase, arbitrary waveform’s details will be lost, upper
harmonic in Harmonic will attenuate. The higher the frequency is, the bigger the waveform’s
distortion is. For different waveforms, its distortion rate is different. Users should make some
limitation to the highest frequency according to test needs.
In continuous mode menu, press
〖
Freq/Period
〗
. If Frequency is selected, you can set frequency
value, the same to Period setting. Either frequency setting or period setting is allowed, but in
actual frequency combination way is used into instrument, and converts it when data is inputting
and displaying.
3.2.5 Amplitude setting
: There are two modes of amplitude setting: ‘Amplitude setting’ and
‘Level setting’. If use ‘Amplitude setting’, signal’s high level and low level will change
simultaneously, while its DC offset remains unchanged. If use ‘Level setting’, signal’s high level
and low level can be set independently, and its DC offset will change accordingly. The relation of
amplitude Vpp, high level, low level and DC offset are as follows:
Amplitude Vpp=high level-low level
High level=DC Amplitude Vpp/2
Low level= DC offset- Amplitude Vpp /2
In continuous mode, press
〖
Ampl/High
〗
, and select ‘Ampl’, you can set signal’s amplitude; select
‘High’, you can set its high level. Press
〖
Offset/Low
〗
, select ‘offset’, you can set signal’s DC
offset; while select ‘Low’, you can choose its low level.
3.2.6 Amplitude Limit
: Signal’s output amplitude will be limited by these factors. If it surpasses
the limitation, instrument will modify its setting value to limit it to the maximum value allowed.
Limiting level’s limit: press
〖
Output Menu
〗
, and then
〖
HighLimit
〗
, you can set the limit value
of the output high level. Press
〖
LowLimit
〗
, you can set the limit value of the output low level.
