To Set Hop Frequency 
 
Hop frequency is the modulating frequency. The range of hop frequency depends on 
the carrier waveform currently selected. Press HopFreq to highlight it and input the 
desired frequency value using the numeric keyboard or direction keys and knob.  
 
  Sine: 1μHz to 60MHz 
  Square: 1μHz to 25MHz 
  Ramp: 1μHz to 1MHz 
  Arb: 1μHz to 20MHz 
 
 
To Set Modulating Polarity 
 
Press Polarity to select the “Pos” or “Neg” polarity of the modulating waveform to 
control the output frequency. 
 
In internal modulation, set the polarity to “Pos” and the generator would output the 
carrier frequency when the modulating waveform is logic low level and output the 
hop frequency when the modulating waveform is logic high level. The situation is the 
opposite when the polarity is set to “Neg”.  
 
In external modulation, set the polarity to “Pos” and the generator would output the 
carrier frequency when the external input signal is logic low level and output the hop 
frequency when the external input signal is logic high level. The situation is the 
opposite when the polarity is set to “Neg”.
