The Front/Rear Panel
When you get a new DG1022 Dual-Channel Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator,
first you need to know how to operate the front/ Rear panel correctly. This chapter will
make a brief introduction and description for the operation and functions of the Front/
Rear Panel.
Front Panel at a Glance
DG1022 Generator has clear and simple front panel. The Front Panel has a knob,
functional keys and menu buttons. The 6 grey buttons below the screen are menu
buttons, by using which you can choose different options on the current menu. The
rests are the functional keys, with which you can enter different function menus or
obtain specific functional applications directly.

User Interface
The Generator provides three display modes: Menu Mode (Single or Double Channel)
and Graph Mode (Single Channel). To switch the display mode, press the View button.
To select Channels, press the

NOTE:
The buttons on the front panel of the instrument are represented by words in a pane,
such as Sine which represents the functional key with “Sine” on it on the front panel,
while the menu buttons are represented by shadow words such as Freq, which means
the “Frequency” option in the Sine menu.

To Set a Waveform
At the left of the operation panel, there are several buttons with waveform icon and
two buttons which are used commonly. The following exercises will help you to be
familiar with the waveform selection settings. The instructions of the waveform
settings are all carried out in the Menu Display Mode.
Waveform Selection
Channel Switch Display Mode Switch
Figure 1-8 Function Buttons Selection
1. Press the Sine button, a “Sine” typeface will display in the state area. The
instrument can generate Sine signal with frequency from 1μHz to 20MHz. By
setting Frequency/Period , Amplitude/High Level, Offset/Low level and Phase, Sine
signal with different parameters can be generated.
Figure 1-9
Sine Signal in the Menu Display Mode
As shown in Figure 1-9, the default signal parameters are: 1kHz Frequency,
5.0VPP Amplitude, 0 VDC Offset and 0° initial phase.
2. Press the Square button, a “Square” typeface will display in the state area. The
instrument can generate Square signal with frequency from 1μHz to 5MHz and
variable duty cycle. By setting Frequency/Period, Amplitude/ High Level, Offset/
Low level, Duty Cycle and Phase , Square signal with different parameters can be
generated.

As shown in Figure 1-10, the default signal parameters are: 1kHz Frequency,
5.0VPP Amplitude, 0 VDC Offset, 50% Duty Cycle and 0° initial phase.
3. Press the Ramp button, a “Ramp” typeface will display in the state area. The
instrument can generate Ramp signal with frequency from 1μHz to 150 kHz and
variable Symmetry. By setting Frequency/Period, Amplitude/ High Level, Offset/
Low level, Symmetry and Phase , Ramp signal with different parameters can be
generated.
Figure 1-11
Ramp Signal in the Menu Display Mode
As shown in Figure 1-11, the default signal parameters are: 1kHz Frequency, 5.0
VPP Amplitude, 0 VDC Offset, 50% Symmetry and 0° initial phase.
4. Press the Pulse button, a “Pulse” typeface will display in the state area. The
instrument can generate Pulse signal with frequency from 500μHz to 3MHz and
variable Pulse Width. By setting Frequency/Period, Amplitude/ High Level, Offset/
Low level, Pulse Width/Duty Cycle and Delay , Pulse signal with different
parameters can be generated.

To Set Basic Waveforms
To Set Sine Waveform
In the Menu Mode, press the Sine button to call the Sine operation. The top left corner
of the screen will show the name of the current waveform. The output Sine waveform
parameters are set using the Sine operation menu.
The parameters for Sine waveforms are: Frequency/ Period, Amplitude/ High Level,
Offset/ Low Level and Phase . Different Sine Signals are generated by using these
parameters. As shown in Figure 2-1, select Freq in the operation menu and the
frequency parameter will be shown in the parameter area. Users then can change the
frequency by using the direction keys and the knob or the keypad.

To Set the Output Frequency/Period
1. Press Sine Freq/Period Freq, to set the frequency parameter.
The frequency shown on the screen is the default value when the instrument is
powered or the set value beforehand. When setting the function, if the current
value is valid for the new waveform, it will be used sequentially. If you want to set
the period for the waveform, press Freq/Period button again, switch to the Period
parameter (The current operation is displayed in inverse color).
2. Input the desired frequency.
Use the keypad to input the parameter value directly, and press the
corresponding button to select the parameter unit. Or you can use the direction
keys to select the digit you want to edit, and then use the knob to change its
value.

Instructions
When using the keypad to enter the digit, you can use the Left direction keys to
move the cursor backward and delete or change the value of the previous digit.
When using the knob to input, use the direction keys to select the digit you
want to edit and rotate the knob to change its value.

To Set the Output Amplitude
1. Press Sine Ampl/HiLev Ampl, to set the amplitude.
The amplitude shown on the screen is the default value when the instrument is
powered or the set value beforehand. When changing the function, if the current
value is valid for the new waveform, it will be used sequentially. If you want to set
the waveform by high Level or Low Level, press Ampl/HiLev or Offset/Lolev again,
switch to HiLev or LoLev parameter (The current operation is displayed in inverse
color).
2. Input the desired Amplitude.
Use the keypad or the knob to input the desired value, choose the unit, and press
the corresponding button.

To Set the Offset
1. Press Sine Offset/LoLev Offset, to set the offset.
The offset shown on the screen is the default value when the instrument is
powered or the set value beforehand. When changing the function, if the current
value is valid for the new waveform, it will be used sequentially.
2. Input the desired Offset.
Use the keypad or the knob to input the desired value, choose the unit, and press
the corresponding button.
