5.2 Connecting to a PC (Optional)

To utilize PC software for arbitrary waveform drawing or secondary development, connect the PSG9060 to your computer using the provided USB cable. Install the necessary drivers and software as instructed by the manufacturer's website.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Basic Waveform Generation

The PSG9060 can generate various standard waveforms including sine, square, triangle, and arbitrary waves.

  1. Press the FUNC button to select the desired channel (CH1 or CH2).
  2. Use the Wave soft key (displayed on screen) to cycle through available waveform types.
  3. To adjust frequency, press the Freq. soft key. Use the numeric keypad or rotary encoder to set the value.
  4. To adjust amplitude, press the Ampl. soft key. Use the numeric keypad or rotary encoder to set the peak-to-peak voltage (Vpp).
  5. To adjust DC offset, press the Offset soft key.
  6. To adjust duty cycle (for square waves), press the Duty soft key.

6.2 Programmable Output

The device supports programmable output, allowing you to define a sequence of waveform outputs.

  • Access the programmable output settings via the SYS menu.
  • Define the waveform type, output duration, and sequence for automated operation.

6.3 Firmware Update

Firmware updates can be performed to enhance functionality or address issues.

  • Connect the device to a PC using the USB cable.
  • Press the corresponding soft key on the device to enter update mode.
  • Use the PC software to perform a one-key firmware upgrade.

6.4 Voltage-Controlled Adjustment (VCA)

The PSG9060 allows external analog voltage signals to control frequency, amplitude, and duty cycle.

  • Connect an external analog voltage signal to the designated input.
  • Configure the VCA settings through the device menu to enable voltage-controlled sweeping for frequency, amplitude, or duty cycle.

6.5 Modulation Function

The device supports various modulation types, which can be applied to single or dual channels.

  • Press the MOD button to access modulation settings.
  • Select the desired modulation type and parameters.

6.6 Dual Channel Output

The PSG9060 features two independent output channels.

  • Both channels can output identical or different function signals or arbitrary waveforms.
  • All parameters for each channel can be adjusted independently.
  • The phase difference between CH1 and CH2 is continuously adjustable from 0 to 359.9 degrees.

6.7 Burst Function

Generate burst signals using sine, square, sawtooth, or arbitrary waveforms.

  • Access the burst function settings through the menu.
  • Set the number of periods for the burst, continuously adjustable between 1 and 1,000,000,000.

6.8 Pulse Width Adjustment

For pulse waveforms, the pulse width and period time can be precisely adjusted.

  • Select a pulse waveform.
  • Use the dedicated settings to digitally and accurately adjust the pulse width and period for jitter-free output.
