Generator

Generator

S models have a built-in generator: sine, square, ramp, pulse, noise, DC, arbitrary waves, and AM, FM and PM.

Tap the GEN card. Tap the frequency for a keypad with units, the limits apply by themselves. The - and + buttons step the value. Changes within one amplitude range take effect at once and keep the output running; a change across a range takes about a second.

Limits: sine up to 60 MHz, square up to 15 MHz, ramp and pulse up to 5 MHz.

Known limits

• The middle of the output jumps by about 85 mV where the generator switches its range at 2 Vpp.

AM, FM and PM are accurate within 3 %.
