B. Signal Generator Controls: 850 Output 1
In the Capstone Signal Generator panel, click the
850 Output 1 drop down menu.
The Signal Generator 850 Output 1 panel shows the
following controls:
Please see the online PASCO Capstone User’s Guide for
detailed information about these Signal Generator
functions.
• Waveform. Sine (default), Square, Triangle, Positive
Ramp, Negative Ramp, and DC.
• Sweep Type: Off (default), Single, Repeat, Bidirectional
• Frequency: Default: 1000 Hz; Range: 0.001 to 100 kilohertz* for AC waveforms
• Amplitude: Default: 1 V; Range: 0 to 15 V, depending on Voltage Limit.
• Voltage Offset: Default: 0 V; Range: 0 to 15 V, depending on Voltage Limit.
• Voltage Limit: Default: 15 V. Range: 0 to 15 V.
• Current Limit: 1.50 A (default), 1.10 A, and 0.55 A.
• On, Off, Auto: On starts the Signal Generator whether or not the Interface is recording
data; Off (default) stops the Signal Generator; and Auto starts and stops the Signal
Generator when the Interface starts and stops recording data.
*NOTE: The upper limit for the sine wave is 150 kHz. Although the Frequency text area goes
up to 200000 Hz, the signal output above 150 kHz is diminished by about 50%.
Adjusting the Signal Generator Controls
Frequency, Amplitude, Voltage Offset, and Voltage Limit can be adjusted in more than one
way.
