6.16 THE VCF Function 
The  GFG-3015  also  provides  the  function  of  Voltage  control  frequency  (VCF). 
Input  a  voltage  from  0  to  10V  to  the  instrument  can  change  the  main  output 
frequency.  In  other  word,  put  a  different  input  voltage  will  get  a  different  main 
frequency. 
Basically, If user put a voltage that from 0 to 10V to instrument then the variation 
of main frequency will over 100 times. But that just appear in Same “Frequency 
variation  Range”.  Because  whole  frequency  range  (0.01Hz  ~  15MHz)  of 
GFG-3015 is composed of 8 frequency range (The detail is as below). So User’s 
voltage just can control at same frequency range. 
For example, User can’t make the main frequency to 10kHz on range 7 by VCF 
input voltage. It must change to range 6 or 5.       
 
Number of Range
VCF Frequency variation 
Range 
8  1.5001MHz~15.0000MHz 
150kHz~15MHz 
7  150.01kHz~1.50000MHz  15kHz~1.5MHz 
6  15.001kHz~150.000kHz  1.5kHz~150kHz 
5  1.5001kHz~15.0000kHz  150Hz~15kHz 
4  150.01Hz~1.50000kHz  15Hz~1.5kHz 
3  15.01Hz~150.00Hz  1.5Hz~150Hz 
2  1.51Hz~15.00Hz  0.15Hz~15Hz 
1  0.01Hz~1.50Hz  0.01Hz~1.5Hz 
 
The  input  voltage  must  be  input  with  VCF  BNC  connector.  If  need  to  change 
“The  frequency  variation  range”,  proceed  6.3  The  Setup  of  Frequency  to 
modify the main setting frequency. 
 
 Example of the Setup of VCF   
To set the following conditions: 
  Main function: Sine Wave. 
  Main Output Amplitude: 10Vpp. 
 
Hope  that  Main  output  will  output 
10kHz on External VCF function. 
Procedure: 
Press                to select SINE wave for main output. 
Then press                                                                            in sequence to 
choose suitable main output frequency for corresponding “VCF Frequency 
variation Range”.     
Input about DC 9V to “
VCF input BNC connector”.
 
You will get about 10kHz sine signal from Main Output connector. 
  Also, you can get 10kHz from VCF frequency variation range with the same 
procedure as above description by setting different value of input VCF 
voltage.
