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.
