3.2.2 Manually Controlled Operation
For basic operation, select the waveform to be output, and
set the output signal frequency and amplitude. The following

3.2.3 Voltage Controlled Operation
Operation as a voltage controlled function generator (VCG)
is as for a manually controlled function generator, only the
frequency within particular ranges is additionally controlled
with dc levels (±2V excursions) injected at the VCG IN
connector. Perform the steps given in paragraph 3.2.2, only
set the frequency dial to determine a reference from which
the frequency is to be voltage controlled:
1. For frequency control with positive dc inputs at
VCG IN, set the dial for a lower frequency limit.
2. For frequency control with negative dc inputs at
VCG IN, set the dial for an upper frequency limit.
3. For modulation with an ac input at VCG IN, center
the dial at the desired center frequency. Do not
exceed the maximum dynamic range of the selected
frequency range.
Figure 3-6 is a nomograph with examples of the frequency
dial effect as a reference for VCG IN voltages. Example 1
shows that with OV VCG input, frequency is as determined
by the main dial setting, 1.0 in this example. Example 2
shows that with a positive VCG input, output frequency is
increased. Examples shows that with a negative VCG input,
output frequency is decreased. (Note that the 50S2 OUT
Frequency Factor column value must be multiplied by a
frequency range multiplier to give the actual 50^2 OUT
frequency.)
