Example: To Output Sine Waveform 
 
This section mainly introduces how to output a sine waveform (Frequency: 20kHz, 
Amplitude: 2.5Vpp, DC Offset: 500 mV
DC, Start Phase: 90°) from the [CH1] 
connector.  
 
1.  To select output channel 
Press CH1|CH2 to select CH1. Now the border of the channel status bar is 
displayed in yellow.  
 
2.  To select the Sine 
Press  Sine  to select the sine waveform. The backlight goes on and the 
corresponding menu is displayed in the right of the screen.  
 
3.  To set the frequency 
Press Freq/Period to highlight “Freq”, and then use the numeric keyboard to 
input 20. Then, select “kHz” from the pop-up menu.   
 
4.  To set the amplitude 
Press Ampl/HiLevel to highlight “Ampl”, and use the numeric keyboard to 
input 2.5. Then, select “Vpp” from the pop-up menu.  
 
5.  To set the offset 
Press Offset/LoLevel to highlight “Offset”, and then use the numeric keyboard 
to input 500. Then, select “mV
DC” from the pop-up menu.  
 
6.  To set the start phase 
Press Start Phase, and then use the numeric keyboard to input 90. Then, 
select “°” from the pop-up menu. The start phase ranges from 0° to 360°.  
 
7.  To enable the output 
Press Output1 to turn CH1 output on. At this point, the backlight goes on and 
the [CH1] connector outputs the configured waveform.  
 
8.  To observe the output waveform 
Connect the [CH1] connector of DG1000Z to the oscilloscope using BNC cable. 
The waveform is as shown in the figure below.
