Generating A Frequency; Setting Generator Level; Muting The Generator - Ramsey Electronics SG560 User Manual

BASIC USE
Basic Use

Generating a Frequency:

To enter frequency, press the FREQ key to get into the desired field. A blinking cursor will indi-
cate that the field is selected. Enter the value. For example, for a frequency of 1kHz, press 1,
then kHz. The cursor will return to the start of the field and the knob can be used to incre-
ment and decrement the field by the preset step size. To abort an entry, press FREQ, LEVEL,
or OFFSET.
Example: Generate a 2.34MHz signal.
Entering Step Size:
To enter the frequency step (or any other field's step size) press SHIFT and then the field of
interest, in this case the FREQ button. The field will then display an exclamation (!) character

to indicate that you are in increment entry mode. For a step size of 1kHz, enter 1, kHz.
Example: Enter a step size of 345.2Hz.
Do not reproduce or distribute.
Once entered, the dial will step the current selected field by this amount. If settings are saved
to memory the step sizes are also saved.To abort an entry, press FREQ, LEVEL, or OFFSET.

Setting Generator Level:

To enter level, press the key to go to the Level field. Any voltage in the range of 0-10V
LEVEL
with 10mV of resolution can be entered. This is the peak to peak voltage, not to be confused
with peak or RMS. To convert to peak voltage, just divide the entry by two. To enter a 5.25V
peak to peak signal, enter 5, ., 2, 5, V. Remember that pressing SHIFT, LEVEL will allow entry
of the level step size. To abort, press FREQ, LEVEL, or OFFSET.
Example: Enter a 0.5V peak to peak signal.

Muting the Generator:

Pressing SHIFT, MUTE will mute the output of the SG560. This sets the level to 0.0V and the
offset to 0.0V. Pressing SHIFT, MUTE again will restore the level and offset to the previous
settings.
