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.
