Frequency Mode.

Frequency Mode is the Z3000’s first mode and is the

mode that the module starts in when powered. It works

by counting the wave cycles generated by the VCO for

one second and then shows the results on the display

with a resolution of 1Hz. The display ranges from 1Hz

up to 9999Hz. When frequencies pass above the

maximum range of 9999Hz the display shuts off, this

is normal. Similarly, when frequencies pass below the

lower limit of 1Hz the display blinks the word LFO

(Low Frequency Oscillator).

The display of the Z3000 is fully synchronized with the

VCO frequency and blinks accordingly at low

frequencies. Each time the display comes on, it

indicates the start of a new wave. This is especially

useful at low frequencies when the VCO is used as a

clock generator or LFO.
