Product Highlights - TB-Electronics Frequency Synthesizer F-SCAN2 Instruction Manual

Product highlights

• The F-SCAN 2 is operated by a backlit monochrome LCD touch screen display of 320 x 240
pixels. Its viewing angle can be adjusted to the users comfort within 90 degrees. Touch
commands are executed instantaneously which reduces setup times.
• A single OUTPUT port on the right side of the device can be programmed and provides sine-,
square- and square 5Volt- signals.
• Square wave signals can be delivered FULL WAVE or DC-OFFSET – selectable with a switch.
Their amplitude can be adjusted with a potentiometer between 0Vpp and 27Vpp or 13.5Vpp.
• A POWER PORT on the rear side of the device provides amplified square wave signals
synchronized with those available on the OUTPUT port for use with light or magnetic coil
adapters, etc. The output range is from 0.1Hz to 1MHz with a preset amplitude of 14Vpp.
• Two frequency tables are permanently stored and items can be selected with a touch on an
alpha sorted name table and transferred to the operating memory.
• Frequency values between 0.1Hz and 3,000,000Hz can be set for square wave signals and
between 0.1Hz and 15,000,000Hz for sine wave signals.
• Integrated adjustable common and multiple individual TIMER.
• 'SWEEP' – mode, for wide band application of frequencies.
• 'Sweep To Next' – mode, allows to sweep between any two values of a frequency sequence.
• User accessible memory provides a capacity to store 50 data blocks permanently (until an
overwrite). Each data block can be comprised of up to 50 frequencies (with one decimal, if
required), their assigned signal form and the 'Sweep To Next' – choices (if applicable) and a
complete data set of a DIRP run (max. 1,000 analysis steps).
• Some user settings remain after power off until the user changes them again.
• DIRP (a special SCAN – procedure) to detect resonances within the frequency range of the
device.
• The results of a DIRP – analysis are displayed as a graph on the touch screen display (up to
1,000 increments).
• 'WOBBLE'- mode. If enabled, the signal will swing around the target frequency in a band
selectable in 27 steps between ±10Hz and ±9,000Hz . This is a global feature.
• 'PULSE'- mode. 4 pulse rates are selectable. This is a global feature.
• The content of the operating memory can be transferred via the RS232 communication interface
to an F-SCAN or to an F-SCAN 2 SATELLITE.
• 'F-SCAN' software is available as an option. It allows to remote control the F-SCAN 2 from a PC
or Notebook via the RS232 communication interface. A serial printer can be attached instead of
a PC. The content of the operating memory, the DIRP data set, the DIRP graph, or the content
of 'SETUP window 1', can be printed to keep as a record.
