Tutorial: How to create a sine waveform
Use the following the steps to create a continuous sine waveform.
To create a sine waveform:
1. Connect the power cord.
2. Press the power button on the instrument.
3. Connect a BNC cable from the CH1 output of the arbitrary function generator to an oscilloscope
input connector.
4. Select Basic.
5. Press the front-panel Sine button, and then press the Continuous button to select a waveform.
6. Press the front-panel CH1 Output On button to enable the output.
7. Use the oscilloscope autoscaling function to display the sine waveform on the screen. If the
instrument outputs a default sine waveform, you can manually set the oscilloscope as follows:
 0.5 μs/div
 200 mV/div
8. To change the frequency, press the front-panel Frequency/Period shortcut button.
9. The Frequency/Period/Phase Menu is displayed and Freq is selected. You can now change the
frequency value.
10. Use the keypad to change the frequency value and press the Enter button to complete the entry.
You can change the Amplitude, Phase, and Offset value the same way.
You can also change the frequency value using the navigation control and the arrow keys. To
increase the value, turn the navigation control clockwise. To change a specific digit, select it by
pressing the arrow keys, then change it by turning the navigation control.
NOTE. You can use the front-panel shortcut buttons to quickly select a waveform setting. When you
specify a waveform setting using the shortcut buttons, the active setting is displayed in green in the
graph area.
