Using an Output Offset, Reference, or Multiplier
To set a new frequency or amplitude reference, turn the frequency reference off, and then follow the
steps above.
Setting a Frequency Multiplier
Using a frequency multiplier, the signal generator can display a frequency that is the multiple
(positive or negative) of the output value.
Displayed Value = multiplier value ´ output frequency
Output Frequency = displayed value ¸ multiplier value
To set a frequency multiplier:
1. Press Frequency > Freq Multiplier > multiplier value > x.
2. Set the desired frequency.
The display equals the output frequency times the multiplier value.
