Operation

Environment



AC Input voltage: 100 ~ 240V AC, 50 ~ 60Hz.

Or 100 ~ 120V AC, 220 ~ 240V AC,50 ~ 60Hz

(With power amplifier)

Connect the protective grounding conductor of the AC power cord to an earth ground to prevent electric shock.



Fuse type: T0.5A/250V. T1A/250V(With power amplifier).

Only qualified technicians should replace the fuse.

To ensure fire protection, replace the fuse only with the specified type and rating.

Disconnect the power cord and all test leads before replacing the fuse.

Make sure the cause of fuse blowout is fixed before replacing the fuse.

Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the function generator.

Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid into the function generator.

Do not use chemicals containing harsh products such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.



Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free, almost non-conductive pollution (Note below) and avoid strong magnetic fields.

Relative Humidity: < 80%

Altitude: < 2000m

Temperature: 0°C to 40°C

Storage environment

Disposal

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010(Third Edition)specifies pollution degrees and their requirements as follows. The function generator falls under degree 2.

Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric strength or surface resistivity”.



Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.



Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected.



Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, nonconductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight, precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature nor humidity is controlled.



Location: Indoor

Relative Humidity: < 70%

Temperature: -10°C to 70°C

Do not dispose this instrument as unsorted municipal waste. Please use a separate collection facility or contact the supplier from which this instrument was purchased. Please make sure discarded electrical waste is properly recycled to reduce environmental impact.

Power cord for the United Kingdom

When using the function generator in the United Kingdom, make sure the power cord meets the following safety instructions.

NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green/ Yellow:

Blue:

Earth

Neutral

Brown: Live (Phase)

As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with the coloured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth terminal marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol or coloured

Green/Green & Yellow.

The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.

The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.

If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or contact the supplier.

This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and approved

HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, a cable of 0.75mm

should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger conductors would normally require

13A types, depending on the connection method used.

Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is engaged in a live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is deemed hazardous, turn off the mains power and remove the cable, any fuses and fuse assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be immediately destroyed and replaced in accordance to the above standard.

How to use the Digital Inputs

Background

The MFG-2000 has three main types of digital inputs: the number pad, arrow keys and scroll wheel. The following instructions will show you how to use the digital inputs to edit parameters.

1. To select a menu item, press the corresponding function keys below (F1~F6). For example the function key F1 corresponds to the Soft key

“Sine”.

2. To edit a digital value, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the digit that needs to be edited.

3. Use the scroll wheel to edit the parameter.

Clockwise increases the value, counter clockwise decreases the value.

4. Alternatively, the number pad can be used to set the value of a highlighted parameter.

The MFG-2000 Series Multi Channel Function

Generators are able to produce AM, ASK, FM, FSK,

PM, PSK, PWM and SUM modulated waveforms.

In addition the MFG-2000 can also produce swept and burst mode waveforms. Depending on the type of waveform produced, different modulation parameters can be set. Only one modulation mode can be active at any one time. The function generator also will not allow sweep or burst mode to be used with AM/FM. Activating a modulation mode will turn the previous modulation mode off.

Pulse Width Modulation

For pulse width modulation the instantaneous voltage of the modulating waveform determines the width of the pulse waveform.

Only one mode of modulation can be enabled at any one time for the selected channel. If PWM is enabled, any other modulation mode will be disabled. Likewise, burst and sweep modes cannot be used with PWM and will be disabled when PWM is enabled.

Command Syntax

Compatible standard



IEEE488.2, 1992 (fully compatible)

SCPI, 1994 (partially compatible)

Command Tree

The SCPI standard is an ASCII based standard that defines the command syntax and structure for programmable instruments.

Commands are based on a hierarchical tree structure. Each command keyword is a node on the command tree with the first keyword as the root node. Each sub node is separated with a colon.

Shown below is a section of the SOURce[1|2|3|4] root node and the :PM and :PULSe sub nodes.

Command types

Commands can be separated in to three distinc types, simple commands, compound commands and queries.

Simple

A single command with/without a parameter

Example *OPC

Compound

Example

Two or more commands separated by a colon (:) with/without a parameter

SOURce1:PULSe:WIDTh

218

REMOTE INTERFACE

Query

Example

A query is a simple or compound command followed by a question mark (?). A parameter (data) is returned. The maximum or minimum value for a parameter can also be queried where applicable.

SOURce1:FREQuency?

SOURce1:FREQuency? MIN

Command forms

Commands and queries have two different forms, long and short. The command syntax is written with the short form of the command in capitals and the remainder (long form) in lower case.

long long

SOURce1:DCOffset

short short

The commands can be written in capitals or lowercase, just so long as the short or long forms are complete. An incomplete command will not be recognized.

Below are examples of correctly written commands:

LONG SOURce1:DCOffset

SOURCE1:DCOFFSET source1:dcoffset

Square Brackets []

Commands that contain squares brackets indicate that the contents are optional. The function of the command is the same with or without the square bracketed items. Brackets are not sent with the command.

For example, the frequency query below can use any of the following 3 forms:

SOURce1:FREQuency? [MINimum|MAXimum]

Braces {}

Angled Brackets

Bars |

Parameters

SOURce1:FREQuency? MAXimum

SOURce1:FREQuency? MINimum

SOURce1:FREQuency?

Commands that contain braces indicate one item within the braces must be chosen. Braces are not sent with the command.

Angle brackets are used to indicate that a value must be specified for the parameter. See the parameter description below for details. Angled brackets are not sent with the command.

A space is used to separate a parameter from a keyword/command header.

A colon is used to separate keywords on each node.

Semicolon (;)

A semi colon is used to separate subcommands that have the same node level.

Colon +

Semicolon (:;)

For example:

SOURce[1|2|3|3RF]:DCOffset?

SOURce[1|2|3|3RF]:OUTPut?

SOURce1:DCOffset?;OUTPut?

A colon and semicolon can be used to combine commands from different node levels.

Comma (,)

For example:

SOURce1:PM:SOURce?

SOURce:PULSe:WIDTh?

SOURce1:PM:SOURce?:;SOURce:

Apply Commands

The APPLy command has 5 different types of outputs (Sine, Square,

Ramp, Pulse, Noise, ). The command is the quickest, easiest way to output waveforms remotely. Frequency, amplitude and offset can be specified for each function.

As only basic parameters can be set with the Apply command, other parameters use the instrument default values.

The Apply command will set the trigger source to immediate and disable burst, modulation and sweep modes. Turns on the output commandOUTPut[1|2|3|3RF|pulse] ON. The termination setting will not be changed.

As the frequency, amplitude and offset parameters are in nested square brackets, amplitude can only be specified if the frequency has been specified and offset can only be specified if amplitude has been set. For the example:

SOURce[1|2|3|3RF|pulse]:APPLy:SINusoid [<frequency>

[,<amplitude> [,<offset>] ]]

Output Frequency

For the output frequency, MINimum, MAXimum and DEFault can be used. The default frequency for all functions is set to 1 kHz. The maximum and minimum frequency depends on the function used. If a frequency output that is out of range is specified, the max/min frequency will be used instead. A “Data out range error will be generated” from the remote terminal.

235

MFG-2000 Series User Manual

Output

Amplitude

When setting the amplitude, MINimum,

MAXimum and DEFault can be used. The range depends on the function being used and the output termination (50Ω or high impedance). The default amplitude for all functions is 100 mVpp (50Ω).

If the amplitude has been set and the output termination is changed from 50Ω to high impedance, the amplitude will double. Changing the output termination from high impedance to

50Ω will half the amplitude.

Vrms, dBm or Vpp units can be used to specify the output unit to use with the current command. The

VOLT:UNIT command can be used to set the units when no unit is specified with the Apply command. If the output termination is set to high impedance, dBm units cannot be used. The units will default to Vpp.

The output amplitude can be affected by the function and unit chosen. Vpp and Vrms or dBm values may have different maximum values due to differences such as crest factor. For example, a

5Vrms square wave must be adjusted to 3.536

Vrms for a sine wave.

DC Offset voltage

The offset parameter can be set to MINimum,

MAXimum or DEFault. The default offset is 0 volts. The offset is limited by the output amplitude as shown below.

|Voffset| < Vmax – Vpp/2

If the output specified is out of range, the maximum offset will be set.

236

REMOTE INTERFACE

The offset is also determined by the output termination (50Ω or high impedance). If the offset has been set and the output termination has changed from 50Ω to high impedance, the offset will double. Changing the output termination from high impedance to 50Ω will half the offset.

If the function mode is changed and the current frequency setting is not supported by the new mode, the frequency setting will be altered to next highest value.

Vpp and Vrms or dBm amplitude values may have different maximum values due to differences such as crest factor. For example, if a 5Vrms square wave is changed to a sinewave, then the Vrms is automatically adjusted to 3.536.

The modulation, burst and sweep modes can only be used with some of the basic waveforms. If a mode is not supported, the conflicting mode will be disabled. See the table below.

SOURce[1|2|3|3RF|pulse]:AMPlitude

Description

Source Specific

Command

The SOURce[1|3|4]:AMPLitude command sets the output amplitude for the selected channel. The query command returns the current amplitude settings.

Note

The maximum and minimum amplitude depends on the output termination. The default amplitude for all functions is 100 mVpp (50Ω). If the amplitude has been set and the output termination is changed from 50Ω to high impedance, the amplitude will double. Changing the output termination from high impedance to 50Ω will half the amplitude.

Syntax

The offset and amplitude are related by the following equation.

|Voffset| < Vmax – Vpp/2

If the output termination is set to high impedance, dBm units cannot be used. The units will default to

Vpp.

The output amplitude can be affected by the function and unit chosen. Vpp and Vrms or dBm values may have different maximum values due to differences such as crest factor. For example, a

5Vrms square wave must be adjusted to 3.536

Vrms for a sine wave.

The amplitude units can be explicitly used each time the SOURce[1|2|3|3RF|pulse]:AMPlitude command is used. Alternatively, the VOLT:UNIT command can be used to set the amplitude units for all commands.

The relationship of peak deviation to modulating frequency and carrier frequency is shown below.

Peak deviation = modulating frequency – carrier frequency.

266

REMOTE INTERFACE

Syntax

Parameter

Example

The carrier frequency must be greater than or equal to the peak deviation frequency. The sum of the deviation and carrier frequency must not exceed the maximum frequency for a specific carrier shape. If an out of range deviation is set for any of the above conditions, the deviation will be automatically adjusted to the maximum value allowed and an “out of range” error will be generated.

For square wave carrier waveforms, the deviation may cause the duty cycle frequency boundary to be exceeded. In these conditions the duty cycle will be adjusted to the maximum allowed and a

“settings conflict” error will be generated.

Burst Mode Commands

Burst Mode Overview

Burst mode can be configured to use an internal trigger (N Cycle mode) or an external trigger (Gate mode) using the Trigger INPUT terminal on the rear panel. Using N Cycle mode, each time the function generator receives a trigger, the function generator will output a specified number of waveform cycles (burst). After the burst, the function generator will wait for the next trigger before outputting another burst. N Cycle is the default Burst mode.

The alternative to using a specified number of cycles, Gate mode uses the external trigger to turn on or off the output. When the

Trigger INPUT signal is high*, waveforms are continuously output

(creating a burst). When the Trigger INPUT signal goes low*, the waveforms will stop being output after the last waveform completes its period. The voltage level of the output will remain equal to the starting phase of the burst waveforms, ready for the signal to go high* again.

*assuming the Trigger polarity is not inverted.

Only one burst mode can be used at any one time. The burst mode depends on the source of the trigger (internal, external, manual) and the source of the burst.

Description

Source Specific

Command

The DATA:DAC command is used to download binary or decimal integer values into memory using the IEEE-488.2 binary block format or as an ordered list of values.

Note

The integer values (±8192) correspond to the maximum and minimum peak amplitudes of the waveform. For instance, for a waveform with an amplitude of 5Vpp (0 offset), the value 8192 is the equivalent of 2.5 Volts. If the integer values do not span the full output range, the peak amplitude will be limited.

The IEEE-488.2 binary block format is comprised of three parts:

# 7 2097152

1. Initialization character

(#)

1 2 3

2. Digit length (in ASCII) of the number of bytes

SCPI Status Register

The status registers are used to record and determine the status of the function generator.

The function generator has a number of register groups:

Questionable Status Registers

Standard Event Status Registers

Status Byte Register

As well as the output and error queues.

Each register group is divided into three types of registers: condition registers, event registers and enable registers.

Register types

Condition

The condition registers indicate the state of the function generator in real time. The condition registers are not triggered. I.e., the bits in the condition register change in real time with the instrument status. Reading a condition register will not clear it. The condition registers cannot be cleared or set.

Event Register

The Event Registers indicate if an event has been triggered in the condition registers. The event registers are latched and will remain set unless the

*CLS command is used. Reading an event register will not clear it.

Enable Register

The Enable register determines which status event(s) are enabled. Any status events that are not enabled are ignored. Enabled events are used to summarize the status of that register group.

The Status Byte register consolidates the status events of all the status registers. The Status Byte register can be read with the *STB? query or a serial poll and can be cleared with the *CLS command.

Clearing the events in any of the status registers will clear the corresponding bit in the Status Byte register.

The Status byte enable register is cleared when the

*SRE 0 command is used.

The Status Byte Condition register is cleared when the *CLS command is used.

Questionable data

The Questionable bit is set when an “enabled” questionable event has occurred.

Message

Available

The Message Available bit is set when there is outstanding data in the Output Queue. Reading all messages in the output queue will clear the message available bit.

REMOTE INTERFACE

Standard Event The Event Status bit is set if an

“enabled” event in the Standard

Event Status Event Register has occurred.

Master

Summary/

Service

Request bit

The Master Summary Status is used with the *STB? query. When the *STB? query is read the MSS bit is not cleared.

The Request Service bit is cleared when it is polled during a serial poll.

Output Queue

Description

The Output queue stores output messages in a

FIFO buffer until read. If the Output Queue has data, the MAV bit in the Status Byte Register is set.

Error Queue

Description

The error queue is queried using the

SYSTem:ERRor? command. The Error queue will set the “Error Queue“ bit in the status byte register if there are any error messages in the error queue.

If the error queue is full the last message will generate a “Queue overflow” error and additional errors will not be stored. If the error queue is empty, “No error” will be returned.

Error messages are stored in the error queue in a first-in-first-out order. The errors messages are character strings that can contain up to 255 characters.
