1. General Safety Requirement
1. General Safety Requirement
Before first use, please read the following safety precautions to avoid any possible personal injury and prevent this product or any other products connected to it from damage. Use only the PSU supplied or one of identical specification. Check to ensure the PSU used matches your local mains supply before connecting. Do not operate without covers. Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed. If you suspect damage has occurred to the instrument. Have it inspected by qualified service personnel before further use. Use your instrument in a well-ventilated area. Inadequate ventilation may cause increase of temperature or damage to the device. Keep well ventilated and inspect the intake for dust and dirt regularly. Do not operate in damp conditions. To avoid short circuiting to the interior of the device or possible electric shock, do not operate in a humid environment. Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere. Keep product surfaces clean and dry. No user serviceable parts inside. Do not disassemble, all servicing must be done by an approved technician.

Select the channel for configuration
Before configuring waveform parameters, you must first select the channel you want to configure. Press CH1 /CH2 to switch to the desired channel and the user interface. To Display / Edit Both Channels
Press Both button to display the parameters of both channels.
To switch channel: Press CH1/2 to switch the editable channel.
To select waveform: Press Waveform selection buttons to select the waveform for the current channel.
To select parameter: Press Menu selection keys to choose the Parameter 1 to Parameter 4Corresponding keys 2-4;Press it again to switch the current parameter such as Frequency/Period.
To edit parameter: Turn the knob to change the value of cursor position. Press / direction key to move the cursor. (The number keys cannot be used to

arbitrary
to enter the corresponding waveform setting interface. The
waveform is different and the parameters that can be set are relative.
Example: Press the
key and press the Frequency/Period soft key. The
selected menu item is highlighted in white, and the cursor will display on
corresponding parameter item in the user interface. Press the
Frequency/Period softkey to switch the frequency/period.
There are two ways to change the selected parameter value:
Turn the Knob to increase or decrease the value at the cursor. Press the direction keys to move the cursor left or right.
Press a number key on the numeric keypad directly, the screen will display the data input box, continue to input the desired value. Press the right menu soft key to select the unit of the parameter. Press the Back softkey to cancel the current entry.

Output the built-in waveform (including DC)
(1) Press the
arbitrary wave button, then press the NextPage ,to the
nextpage menu.
(2) Press the Built-in softkey,go to the build-in waveform and select the menu
(3) Press the Common, Medical treatment, Standard softkeys to select the build-in waveform mode
Press the NextPage softkeys, to select the build-in waveformMaths, Trigonometric, Window function.
Press the NextPage softkeys, to select the build-in waveformEngineering, Seg Mod, Fan test.
Note: DC is a type of built-in waveform, located in the “Common” category, named “DC”.
Generate the Modulated Waveform
Supported modulation types include: AM (Amplitude Modulation), FM (Frequency Modulation), PM (Phase Modulation), FSK (Frequency Shift Keying).
Press the Mode function key, to select the modulation type enter the setup menu. To turn off the modulation, press the Mode function button again.

Generate Sweep
In the frequency sweep mode, the generator “steps” from the start frequency 9
4.Quick Start
to the stop frequency at the sweep rate you specify. Sweep can be generated by Sine, Square, Ramp or Arbitrary waveforms.
When the output signal is Sine, Square, Ramp or Arbitrary waveform, press the front panel Mode key ,then press the Sweep to enter the sweep mode. The parameters allowed to be set are: Sweep Time, Linear/Log, Start Frequency/Center Frequency, Stop Frequency/Frequency Span, Source.
Generate a Burst Waveform
Press the Mode function key, then press the Burst to enter burst mode, to generate versatile waveforms in burst. Burst can last for certain times of waveform cycle (N-Cycle Burst). Bust can apply to Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse and Arbitrary waveforms. The parameters allowed to be set are: Burst Period, Cycles/Infinite and Trigger source.
Storing a Waveform
Supports communication with a computer via the USB port. Using the Waveform Editor software installed on the computer, the signal generator can be operated on the computer to control the output and to store outputs from the signal generator. The instrument settings can be saved as files in internal memory. Up to 16 instrument settings can be saved in the instrument internal memory.
Note: Please go to the Multicomp-pro product page to download the Waveform Editor communication software and install it.
Communication with PC
(1) Set the USB device protocol type of the signal generator: Press Utility System USBDev, switch to PC.
(2) Connection: Connect the USB Device interface on the rear panel of the signal generator to the USB interface of the computer with a USB cable.
(3) Install the driver: Run Waveform Editor software on the computer. Follow the instructions to install the driver. The path of the driver is the USBDRV folder in the directory where the Waveform Editor communication software is located, such as “C:Program Files (x86)DS_WaveWaveform EditorUSBDRV”.
(4) Host computer communication port setting: Open the Waveform Editor software, click “Communications” in the menu bar, select “Ports-Settings”, in the setting dialog box, select the communication port as “USB”.
