Frequency Generation
The generated frequency is either a positive or an amplitude
symmetric square wave.
Function:
Frequency Generation
Check the
Waveform
setting. The percentage value is the
Duty
Cycle
setting (the ratio of the output high time to the total cycle
time). Also check the
Amplitude
setting.

Note.
Due to technical reasons, the entered Duty Cycle setting is not
always realized. This happens with relatively high and low
frequencies. The true Duty Cycle percentage is shown in the
appropriate Basic Mode window.
See Appendix 1, Technical Data for more specific info of Duty
Cycle limitations.
