To Set the Counter

The counter can measure the signal with frequency form 100 mHz to 200 MHz.
The operation steps:
(1)

Press Utility and choose Counter.

(2)

Connect the signal to the connector [Ref Clk/Counter In] on the rear panel.

(3)

Press F3 to choose Set, enter measurement setting menu.

To set the coupling mode: Press F1 to switch Coupling as AC/DC.

To set the sensitivity: Press F2 to switch Sens as Low/Middle/High.
For low amplitude signal, the “Middle” or “High” sensitivity should be used.
For low frequency signal with high amplitude and slower rising edge, low
sensitivity is a better choice.

To set the high frequency restrain on/off: Press F3 to switch HFR as ON/OFF.
High frequency restrain is used for filtering the high frequency signal in
measuring the low frequency signal, and improve the measure accuracy.
To measure low frequency signal lower than 1 kHz, you should put on the high
frequency restrain to filter the high frequency noise disturb.
To measure high frequency signal higher than 1 kHz, you should put off the high
frequency restrain.

To set the trig level: Press F4 to choose TrigLev. Turn the knob to change the
value, press

/

direction key to move the cursor left and right; or press the

number keys to input the desired value and choose the unit. The range of trig
levle is -2.5 V - 2.5 V.

Press F5 to choose Back to previous menu, view the result.

After all the set was done, the counter will measure the signal according to the
current set. If the reading is unsteady, please repeat the above step until it is steady.

(4)

Press F1 to switch to view the measure result of frequency or period.
Press F2 to switch to view the measure result of positive width or duty.

To Set Output Parameter

To Set the Output Load

For either of CH1 Output and CH2 Output on the Front panel, the Generator has a built-in
50Ωseries impendence. If the actual load does not match the set one, the displayed
amplitude and offset are incorrect. This function is used to match the displayed voltage
with the expected one.
Steps for setting the Load of each channel:

(1)

Press Utility and choose Output Setup. Press F1 to select CH1Load, or press

F2

to select CH2Load; press it again to select HighZ or *Ω ("*" represents a value).

(2)

To change the load value, after selecting *Ω, turn the knob to change the value, press

/

direction key to move the cursor left and right; or press the number keys to

input the desired value. Press F3 or F4 to select the unit. The load range is
1 Ω - 10 kΩ.
