5. Operating Instructions
The FY1100-2M features an intuitive interface for waveform generation and parameter adjustment.
5.1 Basic Operation
- Display: The 2.4-inch color display shows the current waveform type, frequency, amplitude, offset, and duty cycle.
- Navigation Buttons: Use the buttons adjacent to the display to select parameters for adjustment.
- Rotary Encoder: Turn the large rotary knob on the right to adjust the value of the selected parameter. Press the knob to confirm or switch between coarse and fine adjustment modes.
- Waveform Selection: Use the dedicated waveform buttons (sine, square, triangle, etc.) to select the desired output waveform.
- Function Buttons: Buttons like SWEEP, BURST, and SYSTEM provide access to advanced functions and system settings.
- Output Enable: Use the ON/OFF CH1 button to enable or disable the main channel output.
5.2 Setting Parameters
To set a parameter (e.g., frequency, amplitude):
- Press the corresponding navigation button next to the display to highlight the parameter you wish to change.
- Turn the rotary encoder to adjust the value.
- Press the rotary encoder to confirm the value or to move to the next digit for fine-tuning.
6. Maintenance
