Continuous Waveforms - Stanford Research Systems DS360 Operating Manual And Programming Reference

Continuous Waveforms

This section discribes how to set up different continuous waveforms, like sinewaves, squarewave or
noise. Connect the PLUS (+) output to an oscilloscope to observe the waveforms.
1. Turn the unit on while holding down [CLR].
Wait until the power-on tests are completed.
2. Press the [AMPL] key. Press [1][Vpp].
Press the [FREQ] key. Press [2][kHz].
(Or turn the spin knob until the frequency reads
2.00 kHz)
3. Press the left cursor [<] key several times until
the kHz position is flashing. Turn the spin knob
until the frequency reads 10.0000 kHz.
Press the function down [∨] key once.
Press the [OFFSET] key. Press [1][VDC].
4. Press the function down [∨] key once.
Press the [OFFSET] key. Press [0][VDC].
Press the [AMPL] key. Press [1][Vrms].
When the power is turned on with the [CLR] key
depressed, the unit returns to its default settings.
This places the unit in a known state.
Set the DS360 for a 1 Vpp, 2 kHz sinewave.
The oscilloscope should show a 2 kHz sinewave
with a 1 Vpp amplitude.
Set the DS360 for a 1 Vpp, 10 kHz, squarewave.
The oscilloscope should show a 10 kHz, 1 Vpp
squarewave.
A 1 VDC offset should be added to the waveform.
Set the DS360 for 1 Vrms white noise with no
offset.
The oscilloscope should show a noisy waveform of
about 7 Vpp.
