CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

FRONT PANEL (Refer to Fig. 1)

1. POWER Switch. Turns power on and off.
2. RANGE Switch. Selects output frequency range. Seven

ranges from 2 Hz to 2 MHz. Switch indicates maximum
frequency of range and is adjusted with FREQUENCY
control to 0.1 times the maximum. For example, if the
200 kHz range is selected, the output frequency can be
adjusted from 20 kHz to 200 kHz.

3. FUNCTION Switch. Selects sine, square, or triangle

waveform at OUTPUT jack.

4. OUTPUT LEVEL Control. Controls the amplitude of

the signal at the OUTPUT jack. Output level can be
decreased by approximately 20 dB with this control.

5. DC OFFSET Control. Enabled by the DC OFFSET

Switch (12). Clockwise rotation from center changes the
DC offset in a positive direction while counterclockwise
rotation from center changes the DC offset in a negative
direction.

6. OUTPUT Jack. Waveform selected by FUNCTION

switch as well as the superimposed DC OFFSET voltage
is available at this jack.

7. TTL/CMOS Jack. TTL or CMOS square wave,

depending on the position of the CMOS LEVEL switch
(13) is output at this jack. This output is independent of
the OUTPUT LEVEL and DC OFFSET controls.

8. CMOS LEVEL Control. Rotating this control

clockwise increases the amplitude of the CMOS
square wave at the TTL/CMOS jack.

9. VCG Jack. Voltage Controlled Generator input.

Permits external control of generator output
frequency by a DC voltage input at this jack. A
positive voltage will decrease frequency.

10. DUTY CYCLE Control. Enabled by the DUTY

CYCLE Switch (14). Rotation from center position
adjusts the duty cycle of the main OUTPUT signal.

11. -20 dB Switch. When engaged, the signal at the

OUTPUT jack is attenuated by 20 dB.

12. DC OFFSET Switch. When engaged, enables

operation of the DC OFFSET control (5).

13. CMOS LEVEL Switch. When engaged, changes

the TTL signal to CMOS signal at the TTL/CMOS
jack.

14. DUTY CYCLE Switch. When engaged, enables

operation of DUTY CYCLE control (10).

15. FREQUENCY Control. Adjustment of the output

frequency from 0.1 to 1 times the selected range.

16. INV. Allows the user to invert the polarity of the

normal output signal.
