5.3. Connecting Output Cables
Use the BNC-Clip cables or BNC-BNC cables to connect the signal generator's output channels (CH1, TTL, Counter) to your desired test equipment (e.g., oscilloscope, frequency counter).
6. Operation
The FY1100 series signal generator features an intuitive interface with a color display and dedicated function buttons. Detailed operational instructions are typically provided in the full product manual. Below are general steps for basic waveform generation:
6.1. Basic Waveform Generation
- Power On: Press the power button.
- Select Waveform: Use the waveform selection buttons (Sine, Square, Triangle, etc.) to choose the desired output waveform.
- Adjust Frequency: Use the rotary encoder and corresponding buttons to set the output frequency. The display will show the current frequency.
- Adjust Amplitude/Offset/Duty Cycle: Use the dedicated buttons (AMPL, OFFS, DUTY) and the rotary encoder to adjust the amplitude, DC offset, and duty cycle (for square waves) as needed.
- Enable Output: Press the "ON/OFF CH1" button to enable or disable the main channel output.
