4. Setup
4.1 Unpacking and Inspection
- Carefully remove the signal generator and all accessories from the packaging.
- Inspect the device for any signs of physical damage. If damage is found, contact your supplier immediately.
- Verify that all components listed in the packing list are present.
4.2 Power Connection
- Connect the provided DC 5V power adapter to the 'DC5V' input port on the side of the device.
- Plug the power adapter into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Ensure the power switch on the side panel is in the 'OFF' position before connecting power.
4.3 Connecting to External Equipment
Use BNC cables to connect the CH1 or CH2 output ports to your oscilloscope, frequency counter, or other test equipment. The EXT.IN and TTL_IO ports can be used for external synchronization or control signals.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Power On/Off
- To power on, flip the power switch on the side panel to the 'ON' position. The display will illuminate.
- To power off, flip the power switch to the 'OFF' position.
5.2 Basic Waveform Generation
- Press the 'WAVE' button to enter the waveform selection menu.
- Use the directional buttons or rotary encoder to select the desired waveform (e.g., Sine, Square, Ramp).
- Press the corresponding function button (F1-F5) or the rotary encoder to confirm your selection.
- Adjust parameters such as frequency, amplitude, offset, and duty cycle using the rotary encoder and function buttons. The display will show the active parameter for adjustment.
5.3 Modulation Functions
The FY6300 60M supports various modulation types. To access these functions:
- Select a base waveform (carrier wave) using the 'WAVE' button.
- Navigate to the modulation settings via the menu system (refer to the on-screen prompts).
- Choose the desired modulation type (AM, FM, PM, FSK, PSK, VCO) and configure its parameters (e.g., modulation depth, frequency).
5.4 Arbitrary Waveform Generation
The device allows users to define and generate custom arbitrary waveforms. This typically involves:
- Creating a waveform using PC software (if available) and transferring it via the USB port.
- Selecting the 'Arbitrary' waveform type from the 'WAVE' menu.
- Loading the desired arbitrary waveform from the device's memory.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
- Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from the power source before cleaning.
- Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the device.
- For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild detergent can be used, followed by a dry cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals.
6.2 Storage
- Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Keep the device covered to prevent dust accumulation.
- If storing for extended periods, disconnect all cables.
7. Troubleshooting
- No Power: Check if the power adapter is securely connected and the power switch is 'ON'. Verify the power outlet is functional.
- No Output Signal: Ensure the output channel (CH1/CH2) is enabled on the device. Check cable connections to external equipment. Verify frequency and amplitude settings are not set to zero.
