6.5 Dividing the Output
Procedure
1.
Turn the m dial.
The m display shows the denominator of the divider value (the number of divisions).
2.
Turn the n dial.
The n display shows the numerator of the divider value.
Divider value example: x —
1
5
2. Set numerator n.
Explanation
The 2558A outputs voltage or current by dividing the frequency specified in section 6.2.
The voltage and current levels are not divided.
The range for denominator m is 4 to 15.
The range for numerator n is 0 to m.
Turning the m dial resets numerator n to the denominator m value.
The n value cannot be set larger than the m value.
When the power is turned on, denominator m that was used previously is restored. The numerator n is
reset to the denominator m value.
For example, if FREQUENCY METER MIN is set to 45 Hz and MAX is set to 65 Hz and you set the
denominator m to 4, the following division occurs.
65 Hz – 45 Hz = 20 Hz
The output is divided at 5 Hz intervals (1/4 of 20 Hz).
n/m = 0/4 : 45Hz
n/m = 1/4 : 50Hz
n/m = 2/4 : 55Hz
n/m = 3/4 : 60Hz
n/m = 4/4 : 65Hz
