To Set the Duty Cycle of a Square Wave
At power-on, the duty cycle for square waves is 50%. You can adjust the
duty cycle from 20% to 80% for output frequencies up to 10 MHz. The
following steps show you how to change the duty cycle to 30%.
1 Select the square wave function.
Press the key and then set the desired output frequency to any
value up to 10 MHz.
2Press the “Duty Cycle” softkey.
The displayed duty cycle is either the power-on value or the percentage
previously selected. The duty cycle represents the amount of time per
cycle that the square wave is at a high level (note the icon on the right
side of the display).
3 Enter the desired duty cycle.
Using the numeric keypad or the knob, select a duty cycle value of “30”.
The function generator adjusts the duty cycle immediately and outputs a
square wave with the specified value (if the output is enabled).
