7. The Block Diagram and Description of the System
The block diagram of GFG-3015 consists of a micro processor unit (MPU), a
Voltage control Frequency (VCF), many digital to analog converters (D/A) for
corresponding block, a square and sine waveform Shaper, a modulation function
generator, a Trigger signal generator, a Frequency Counter(GFC-9701), an output
amplifier, an attenuator (ATT), and etc. The principles of generating waveforms and
Function are shown as follows:
(1) Power
Provide many kind of DC power for every block of the instrument including ± 18V,
±15V and ±5V.
(2) MPU
The Micro Processor Unit is a powerful control center of the instrument that can
control many key blocks through D/A converter including the Output waveform,
the Frequency, Amplitude, the DC offset, the Duty and the setting the parameters
of Sweep or modulation, even the Trigger function. It creates a friendly operation
environment.
In addition, it can read the output frequency through the powerful Counter
(GFC-9701) and modify the output frequency value at the real time. Therefore, it
also provides high accurate signal.
