5.2 Waveform Generation
The device can generate various standard waveforms and arbitrary waveforms. Use the WAVE button to select the desired waveform type (e.g., Sine, Square, Triangle, Pulse, Arbitrary).
- Frequency Adjustment: Use the rotary encoder and arrow keys to set the desired frequency.
- Amplitude Adjustment: Adjust the output amplitude using the dedicated controls.
- Offset Adjustment: Set the DC offset for the waveform.
- Duty Cycle: For pulse and square waves, adjust the duty cycle.
- Phase: For dual-channel operation, adjust the phase difference between CH1 and CH2.
5.3 Dual Channel Operation
The FY6200 offers two independent output channels. You can enable or disable each channel using the CH1 Output and CH2 Output buttons. The display shows parameters for both channels simultaneously.
The standard channel tracking function allows both channels' parameters to be updated simultaneously based on user settings when tracking is enabled.
5.4 Scan Function
The scan function allows the device to sweep through a range of frequencies, amplitudes, offsets, or duty cycles. Press the SWEEP button to access scan settings.
- Scan Type: Select between Linear Scan and Logarithmic Scan.
- Scan Parameter: Choose the parameter to scan (Frequency, Amplitude, Offset, Duty Cycle).
- Start/End Points: Set the beginning and end values for the scan range.
- Scan Time: Adjust the duration of the scan, up to 999.99 seconds.
5.5 Burst Output Function
The burst function allows the output of a specific number of pulses. Press the MOD button and navigate to the burst settings.
- Trigger Source: Select Manual Trigger, Internal CH2 Trigger, or External Trigger.
- Pulse Count: Set the number of pulses to output (1 to 1,048,575).
5.6 Frequency Counter
The built-in frequency counter can measure external signals. Connect the signal to the Counter input BNC connector. Press the COUNTER button to activate the frequency counter mode.
