6. Signal Generator Menu and Setting
6.1 Signal Generator Control: Keyboard, Touch Screen and SCPI.
6.2 Signal Generator Set Frequency
Step 1 – Reset:
Press the【RESET】key on the front panel, reset the equipment into initial state.
Step 2 – Type in the value:
Press the【FREQ】key on the front panel or touch the Frequency Set area on the screen, type in the specific value and press【G/n】key on the front panel to finish this step. In this step, you can also rotate the knob to adjust the value.
Step 3 – RF switch on:
Press【RF ON/OFF】key on the front panel, touch the Modulation Switch area or the Channel Select area to switch on the RF output. As the “RF ON” show on the modulation switch area and the color turns green, RF switch on.
6.3 Signal Generator Set Power Level
Type in the value
Press【LEVEL】key on the front panel or the Power Level Set area, type in the specific value and press 【X1 dBm】key on the front panel to finish this step. In this step, you can also rotate the knob to adjust the value.
6.4 Signal Generator Set Pulse Mode
Tap the Modulation area on the home page to set pulse parameters.
| Parameters | Valid Range | Default Value | Description |
| Pulse State | On|Off | Off | On/off state of the signal source |
| Pulse Source | Int|Ext | Int | Internal/external signal source of the pulse modulation. |
| Pulse Polarity | Normal | Inverse | Normal | The modulation polarity of the pulse signal. |
| Pulse Mode | Single| Double | Single | Select single pulse mode or double pulse mode. |
| Pulse Out | On|Off | Off | This parameter is enable only in internal modulation. |
| Trig Mode | Auto|Ext Trig | Auto | External trigger or automatic trigger of the pulse modulation. |
| Trig Slope | Positive| Negative | Positive | This parameter is enable only in external trigger mode. |
| Time Unit | μs|ms|s | μs | Time unit of the pulse modulation. |
| Pulse Period | 0.11μs – 100.00s | 20.00μs | Time period of the pulse modulation. If, the set pulse period ≤ the current pulse width, it would automatically adjust to be ≥ current pulse width. |
| Pulse Width | 0.10μs – 99.999 999 99s | 5.00μs | Width of the pulse signal. If, the set pulse width ≥ the current pulse period, it would automatically adjust to be ≤ current pulse period. |
| Double Pulse Width | 0.10μs – 99.999 999 99s | 5.00μs | This parameter is enable only in double pulse mode. |
| Double Pulse Delay | 0.10μs – 100.00s | 0.10μs | This parameter is enable only in double pulse mode. |
| Trigger Delay | 0.02μs – 100.00s | 0.02μs | This parameter is enable only in external trigger mode. |
6.5 Signal Generator Set Sweep Mode
Tap the Sweep area on the home page to set sweep parameters.
| Parameters | Valid Range | Default Value | Description |
| Sweep State | On|Off | Off | On/off state of the sweep function. |
| Sweep Mode | Single|Continuous | Single | Single sweep mode or double sweep mode.* |
| Start Freq. | 9kHz – 40GHz | 10GHz | Set the start frequency of the sweep. |
| Stop Freq. | 9kHz – 40GHz | 20GHz | Set the stop frequency of the sweep. |
| Freq. Step | On|Off | Off | Set the frequency step of the sweep. |
| Dwell Time | 10ms – 10s | 10ms | Set the dwell time of every frequency point, phase-locked time included. |
| Sweep Time | – | – | Sweep time is automatically calculated and displayed. Read-only. |
* Single Sweep Mode: From the start freq., the output frequency accumulates/decreases according to the sweep step, and each point stays for the dwell time and then switches to the next point until the frequency stops, as the sweep stops.
Repeat Sweep Mode: From the start freq., the output frequency accumulates/decreases according to the sweep step, and each point stays for the sweep dwell time and then switches to the next point until the frequency stops. It returns to the start freq, and begins to repeat a new round of sweep.
6.6 Signal Generator Set LAN
Press the MENU key on the front Panel, select [System]-[LAN Setting] to check set LAN parameters including: IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Socket.
