3 Features and Functions
70 Keysight 33210A User’s Guide
Output Frequency
As shown below, the output frequency range depends on the function currently
selected. The default frequency is 1 kHz for all functions.
– Function Limitations: If you change to a function whose maximum frequency is
less than that of the current function, the frequency is adjusted to the
maximum value for the new function. For example, if you are currently
outputting a 10 MHz sine wave and then change to the ramp function, the
function generator will automatically
adjust the output frequency to 100 kHz
(the upper limit for ramps).
– Burst Limitation: For internally-triggered bursts, the minimum frequency is
2.001 mHz. For sine and square waveforms, frequencies above 3 MHz are
allowed only with an “infinite” burst count.

Cycle Limitations
: For square waveforms, the function generato
r may not be
able to use the full range of duty cycle values at higher frequencies as shown
below.
20% to 80% (to 5 MHz)
40% to 60% (to 10 MHz)
If you change to a frequency that cannot produce the current duty cycle
, the duty
cycle is automatically adjusted to the maximum value for the new frequency.
For example, if you currently have the duty cycle set to 70% and then change
the frequency to 6 MHz, the function generator will automatically adjust the
duty cycle to 60% (the upper limit for this frequency).
