DESCRIPTION OF THE BLOCKOlAGRAM (Fig. 6)
The oscillator is formed by the CONSTANT CURRENT SOURCE, the
CURRENT
INTEGRATOA and the
COMPARATOR
.
It produces and determines depending of the posi
ion
of
the
frequency controI (F REOUENCY
Hz),
the
frequency
range selector
(F REO.
MUL
TIPL.) and the frequency
offset
controI
(FAEO.
OFFSET).
the frequency of
the
output signal.
Switching
over
from
time·symmetrical (duty cycle
0.5) to time'asymmetrica
l
(duty cycle
0.
1 or 0.9) signals
is
achieved by means
of
the
waveform
selector
(WAV
EFORMj, acting upon the
constant
current source.
Sweeping
with an externai voltage
is
attained
by
applying this voltage
to
the
constant
current source
via
BNC·
socket
SWE
EP I N. The
externaI
voltage
also
controIs the productiveness of the
constant
current
source.
The oscillator also produces a square-wave signa
l
with fixed amplitude which
is
available at
output
socket
SOUARE OUT.
A
triangu
lar
and
square-wave
signal
f
rom the
oscillator
is supplied to
t
he waveform selector
(WAVEFORM).
Depending
of
the
posi
t io
n of the latter
switch
the
du
ty
cycle is
0.
1,
0.5
or
0.9.
In the pos
it
ion
~
of the WAVEFOAM
swi
tch the time-symmetrical triangular wav
eform is
applied to the
SIN
E
SHAP
ER.
The
sinewave formed by the
sine
shaper
is
supplied to the
ATTENUATOR
via
the
waveform
seleetor.
With

a
co

attenuation
of
the
signal
is

By
the OUTPUT AMPLIFlER
the signal
is ampl
ifi
ed
to
th
e
required value. In
t
he
o utput

the signal can be
set
to
a
