To Generate a Sine Waveform
The following quick tutorial describes how to generate a continuous sine waveform using Tektronix AFG3000 Series Arbi-
trary/Function Generators. Follow these steps to learn the basics of the arbitrary/function generator.
1. Connect the power cord, and then
push the front-panel power on/off
switch to turn on the arbitrary/function
generator.
2. Connect a BNC cable from the CH1
Output of arbitrary/function generator
to an oscilloscope input connector.
3. Push the front-panel Sine button, and
then push the Continuous button to
select a waveform.
4. Push the front-panel CH1 Output On
button to enable the output.
5. Use the oscilloscope auto-scaling
function to display the sine waveform
on the screen.
If the instrument outputs a default sine
waveform, you can manually set the
oscilloscope as follows:
0.5 μs/div
200 mV/div
6. To change the frequency, push the
front-panel Frequency/Period short-
cut button.
