Waveform Output
FY8300 series can output waveforms (Sine, Square, Triangle/Ramp, Pulse
and Noise etc.) from Three channels at the same time. The default configuration
of the three channels is a sinusoidal wave with a frequency of 10 kHz, an
amplitude of 5 Vpp and a phase difference of 120 degrees. Three channels use
default setting saved at Position 1 when power on. Users can configure the
instrument to output various waveforms.
Select Output Channel
CH1 、CH2 and CH3buttons are used to change current channel selected.
At start-up, CH1 is displayed on the top with yellow color and CH2 is displayed on

Set Frequency
Frequency is one of the most important parameters of waveforms. For
different instrument models and waveforms, the setting ranges of frequency are
different. For detailed information, please refer to “Frequency” in
“Specifications”. The default frequency is 10kHz.
Press FREQ button to highlight value of Frequency. Then use Arrow
buttons and ADJ Knob to set the value. Press Arrows button to move the cursor
and rotate ADJ Knob to set the value.
Under setting frequency status, press ADJ Knob to change frequency units
among MHz, KHz, Hz, mHz, μHz.

Set Amplitude
The amplitude setting range is limited by the “Attenuation” and “Frequency”
settings. Please refer to “Output Characteristics” in “Specifications”. The
default value is 5Vpp.
Press AMPL button to highlight amplitude value. Then use Arrows button
and ADJ Knob to set the value. Press Arrows button to move the cursor and
rotate ADJ Knob to set the value.
Key Points：
1．What’s the difference of amplitude in Vpp and the corresponding value in
Vrms?
Answer:
Vpp is the unit for signal peak-peak value and Vrms is the unit for signal effective value.
The default unit is Vpp.
Note：
For different waveforms, the relation between Vpp and Vrms is different. The
relation of the two units is as shown in the figure below (take sine waveform as
an example).
According to the figure above, the conversion relation between Vpp and Vrms
fulfills the following equation:
Vpp = 2

Vrms
For example, if the current amplitude is 5Vpp, For sine waveform, the
converted value is 1.768Vrms.

Sweep Type
FY8300 provides Linear, Logarithm sweep types. The default is Linear
sweep. The sweep type can be switched by pressing “MODE” button.
Linear Sweep
In linear sweep type, the signal parameter varies linearly. For example, in the
frequency sweep the output frequency of the instrument varies linearly in the way
of “Changing several Hertz per second”. The variation is controlled by “Start
Frequency”, “End Frequency” and “Sweep Time”.
The step value of linear sweep object is computed by the generator, the
formula is as follows:
Step value=（End value — Start value）/（Sweep time*100）
Logarithm Sweep
In linear sweep type, the signal parameter varies logarithmically.
For example, in the frequency sweep the output frequency changes in the way of
“octave per second” or “decade per second”. The variation is controlled by “Start
Frequency”, “End Frequency” and “Sweep Time”.
When Logarithm Sweep is enabled, users can set the following parameters:
Start Frequency (Fstart), Stop Frequency (Fend) and Sweep Time (Tsweep).
The function prototype of Logarithm Sweep:
F

is the instantaneous frequency of the current output. P and T could be

Enable Sweep Function
Press SWEEP button of front panel to enable sweep function. Then press
ADJ Knob to start sweep process. Press ADJ Knob again to stop sweep.
Start value and End value
Start value and stop value are the upper and lower limits of sweep for
specified parameter. sweep. The generator always sweeps from the start value to
the end value and then returns back to the start value and continues indefinitely.
For example, in Frequency Sweep function:
⚫ Start Frequency < End Frequency: the generator sweeps from low
frequency to high frequency.
⚫ Start Frequency > End Frequency: the generator sweeps from high
frequency to low frequency.
⚫ Start Frequency = Stop Frequency: the generator outputs with a fixed
frequency.
When Sweep function is enabled, press STAR button to highlight start value. Use
arrow buttons and ADJ Knob to set the specified value. Different frequency sweep
corresponds to different start frequency and end frequency range.
Sine： 100mHz to 25MHz~60MHZ (Varies according to different model)
Square： 100mHz to 25MHz
Ramp： 100mHz to 10MHz
Arbitrary：100mHz to 10MHz
The generator will restart sweep (according to the current new configuration)
from the specified “start frequency” after start or end frequency is changed.
