5.1 Convenient Settings
WF1943B 5-3
Squarewave duty setting (
ENTRY
→
DUTY
)
Operation to set the squarewave duty is described. The setting changes the width (%) of the pulse with
respect to the overall waveform (
portion indicated by arrows).
Select squarewave ( variable duty).
Operation:
① Press the
ENTRY
key, then the
DUTY
key to produce the following display.
DUTY 50.0000 %
1000.0000000Hz A0.1000Vp-p/OPEN
② Set the duty with the keypad or
MODIFY
dial.
Other:
• The table indicates the effects on other parameters when the frequency, period, width or duty is
changed.

• Due to the oscillation period and duty relationship, the pulse can be lost when the actual pulse width is
less than 25 ns. An error message is displayed at this type of setting.
Also, jitter increases when the pulse width is less than 100 ns. A warning message is displayed at
this type of setting.
• The actual waveform duty resolution is [oscillation frequency]
÷
[approx. 40 MHz] (0.00001 % at
minimum). When the stop level is on, the minimum actual waveform duty resolution is
approximately 0.003 %.
