Front Panel Operations
Waveform Output
FY8300 series can output waveforms (Sine, Square, Triangle/Ramp, Pulse
and Noise etc.) from Three channels at the same time. The default configuration
of the three channels is a sinusoidal wave with a frequency of 10 kHz, an
amplitude of 5 Vpp and a phase difference of 120 degrees. Three channels use
default setting saved at Position 1 when power on. Users can configure the
instrument to output various waveforms.
Select Output Channel
CH1 、CH2 and CH3buttons are used to change current channel selected.
At start-up, CH1 is displayed on the top with yellow color and CH2 is displayed on
the bottom with blue color. Press CH1 、CH2 and CH3to select channel needed.
When selecting CH2 as output channel, CH2 parameters displays on the top for
configuration.
KEY POINT:
CH1、CH2 and CH3 can not be selected at the same time. Users can first
select CH1 and then select CH2 or CH3 after configuring the waveform and
parameters of CH1. If you need to change the parameters of three channel at
same time, please refer to Chapter “Synchronization”.
