5.2 Signal Generator Functions

This mode allows you to generate various electrical signals for testing automotive components.

  • Signal Types: Sine wave, Square wave, Combined wave (e.g., 58+2, 10+1 missing teeth), Scan wave, and DC wave.
  • Frequency Range: 1Hz to 9999Hz (adjustable in 1Hz steps).
  • Output Voltage (Peak-to-Peak): -12V to +12V (adjustable in 1V steps).
  • Duty Cycle (for Square Wave): 1% to 99%.
  • Scan Wave: Simulates crankshaft/camshaft signal changes from low to high speed (scan time 1s to 999s).
  • Combined Wave: Allows setting of missing teeth signals (e.g., 58+2, 10+1). Maximum combined wave combinations: 99+99.
  • Waveform Storage: The instrument supports storing up to 50 sets of waveform parameters.
