For different instrument models and waveforms, the setting ranges of frequency are different. detailed information, please refer “Frequency” “Specifications”. The default frequency is 10kHz. Press FREQ button to highlight value of Frequency. Then use Arrow buttons and ADJ Knob to set the value.
FeelTech Set Amplitude The amplitude setting range is limited by the “Attenuation” and “Frequency” settings. Please refer to “Output Characteristics” in “Specifications”. The default value is 5Vpp. Press AMPL button to highlight amplitude value. Then use Arrows button and ADJ Knob to set the value. Press Arrows button to move the cursor and rotate ADJ Knob to set the value.
FeelTech Set Offset Press OFFS button to highlight offset value. Then use Arrows button and ADJ Knob to set the value. Press Arrows button to move the cursor and rotate ADJ Knob to set the value. The offset accuracy is 1mV. i.e. 0.001V.
FeelTech Set Duty Cycle (Square) Duty cycle is defined as the percentage that the high level takes up in the whole period (as shown in the figure below). This parameter is only available when square is selected. The setting range of duty cycle is limited by the “FREQ” setting. Please refer to “Waveform Characteristics”...
FeelTech Set Phase The setting range of phase is from 0° to 359.9° . The phase resolution is 0.1° . The default phase value is 0° The start phase displayed on the screen is the default value or the phase previously set.
FeelTech Enable Output After configuring the parameters of the waveform selected, waveform output could be enabled. At start-up output of CH1 and CH2 are both turned on as default. At this time indicator lights of dual channels illuminate. The default status can be modified. Press【SYS】button and then press【MORE】...
FeelTech Example: Output Sine Waveform This section mainly introduces how to output a sine waveform (Frequency: 20kHz, Amplitude:2.5Vpp, DC Offset: 1.6VDC, Start Phase: 90.9° ) from the [CH1] channel. 1. Select output channel Press CH1 to select CH1. Now all characters and border of the channel is displayed in yellow.
FeelTech Burst FY6600 can output waveform with specified number of cycles (called Burst) from the CH1 channel. FY6600 supports control of burst output by CH2(internal), manual or external trigger source; The signal generator can generate burst using Sine wave, Square wave, Ramp wave, Pulse, Noise wave or arbitrary waveform (except DC).
