• Power Switch (ON/OFF): Toggles the device power.
• LCD Display: Shows current settings, waveform parameters, and menu options.
• Control Knob: Used for navigating menus and adjusting parameter values. Press to confirm selection.
• Directional Buttons (Left/Right): Used for cursor movement or fine-tuning values.
• Function Buttons:
  • PARM: Parameter settings.
  • WAVE: Waveform selection.
  • COUNT: Counter function.
  • SWEEP: Frequency sweep settings.
  • SYS: System settings.
  • FUNCTION: Additional function menu.
• Input Port: For external signal input, typically for the counter function.
• Output Ports (CH1, CH2): BNC connectors for waveform output.

4.2 Rear Panel

The rear panel typically houses the power input jack and potentially a USB communication port for PC connectivity.

5. Setup

1. Power Connection: Connect the provided power adapter to the power input jack on the rear panel of the signal generator. Plug the adapter into a suitable AC power outlet.
2. Initial Power On: Flip the ON/OFF switch on the front panel to the 'ON' position. The LCD display should illuminate, showing the startup screen and then the default waveform settings.
3. Output Connection: Connect the BNC output cables (CH1 or CH2) to your desired test equipment (e.g., oscilloscope, frequency counter, circuit under test).
4. USB Connection (Optional): If using PC software for control, connect the USB data cable from the signal generator's USB port to your computer. Install the necessary drivers and software from the provided CD or manufacturer's website.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Basic Operation

• Navigation: Use the control knob to scroll through menu options or adjust values. Press the knob to select an option or confirm a value.
• Parameter Adjustment: When a parameter is highlighted, turn the knob to change its value. Use the left/right directional buttons for fine adjustments or to move the cursor within a number.
• Channel Selection: The device operates with two independent channels (CH1 and CH2). Ensure you are adjusting parameters for the correct channel.

6.2 Waveform Generation

1. Press the WAVE button to enter the waveform selection menu.
2. Turn the control knob to select the desired waveform type (e.g., Sine, Square, Triangle, Pulse, Arbitrary). Press the knob to confirm.
3. Press the PARM button to access waveform parameters.
4. Adjust parameters such as:
   • Frequency (FREQ): Set the output frequency.
   • Amplitude (AMPL): Set the peak-to-peak voltage.
   • Offset (OFFSET): Set the DC offset voltage.
   • Duty Cycle (DUTY): For square/pulse waves.
   • Phase (PHASE): For dual-channel synchronization.
5. Ensure the output channel (CH1 or CH2) is enabled if there's a dedicated button or menu option for it.

6.3 Frequency Sweep Function

1. Press the SWEEP button.
2. Set the Start Frequency and End Frequency using the control knob and directional buttons.
3. Set the Sweep Time (duration of the sweep).
4. Select the Sweep Mode (e.g., Linear, Logarithmic).
5. Activate the sweep function.

6.4 Counter Function

1. Connect the external signal to be measured to the Input Port.
2. Press the COUNT button.
3. The display will show the frequency or period of the input signal.
4. Adjust settings like gate time or coupling if available in the counter menu.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from dust and extreme temperatures, when not in use for extended periods.
• Calibration: Periodic calibration by qualified technicians may be required to maintain accuracy. Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations.
