To Set Frequency/Period
Frequency is one of the most important parameters of basic waveforms. For different
instrument models and waveforms, the setting ranges of frequency are different. For
detailed information, please refer to “Frequency Characteristics” in “Specifications”.
The default frequency is 1kHz.
The frequency displayed on the screen is the default value or the frequency
previously set. When the instrument function is changed, if this frequency is valid
under the new function, the instrument will still use this frequency; otherwise, the
instrument would display prompt message and set the frequency to the frequency
upper limit of the new function automatically.
Press Freq/Period to highlight “Freq”. At this point, use the numeric keyboard to
input the desired frequency value and then select the desired unit from the pop-up
menu.
 The frequency units available are MHz, kHz, Hz, mHz and μHz.
 Press this softkey again to switch to period setting. At this point, “Period” is
highlighted.
 The period units available are sec, msec, μsec and nsec.
Users can also use the direction keys and knob to set the parameter value: use the
direction keys to move the cursor to select the digit to be edited and then rotate the
knob to change the number.
