FUNCTION GENERATOR-SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL 6. APPLICATION NOTE This section describes the application of the Function Generators in details as well as a brief description relating to the block diagram. Only for the essential application method. (A) Trouble-shooting using signal-tracing method. This method is similar to signal replacing way.

FUNCTION GENERATOR-SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL (D) Using the Square wave test the characteristics of amplifier circuit. It can’t actually explain the transient response of amplifier by using Sine wave for the frequency response curve observation, but using the high order poly-wave, Square wave, instead to display its waveform from the oscilloscope can show up many characteristics of amplifier.

FUNCTION GENERATOR-SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL (a) Connect the lines as Figure 7. (b) According to the operation guide in this manual, set Square wave or Pulse wave output. (c) Use the label TTL, CMOS output terminal testing TTL logic circuit. (d) To test CMOS circuit by pulling up the switch of TTL/CMOS, and adjust CMOS level by rotating the switch to set the proper level (e) Use dual-trace scope to show the input-output timing relation judged by the two waves shown in Figure 4.

FUNCTION GENERATOR-SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7-2.Fuse Replacement Procedure When you proceed calibration or maintenance of the Function Generators, if you want to replace the fuse, the upper cover must be removed according to the following steps: 1).The handle must be turned downward 90 degrees first.
Page 36
FUNCTION GENERATOR-SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL 2).Pull apart the handle from the Function Generator. Please turn the handle left and right side slightly, that will make easier to pull off the handle. 3).There are two washers inside of two holes (the joints of handle and case) respectively.
Page 37
FUNCTION GENERATOR-SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL 4).Please use a screwdriver to open the screw located at upper side of rear panel. Therefore, the upper cover can pull toward the backside. In the meantime, the upper cover is moved. Note: If you want to install the upper cover, please reverse above steps. 7-3.
