3. OPERATING NSTRUCTIONS

1) Operating Precautions

(1) Precautions for lnput Voltage

All input and output terminals are connected for direct coupled circuitry. Do not apply
external voltage to any output terminal. The output terminal (9) provides a maximum
instantaneous input voltage of +5V (AC+DC). Consequently, if the voltage applied
to the terminal exceeds this value, the internal circuitry will be damaged.

Also, take care to prevent input voltage exceeding the maximum input voltage value
from being applied to the input terminals.

(2) Output Connections

The output terminal (9) has an output impedance of 5O ohms. Use a 50-ohm coaxial
cable and a S0-ohm terminator for the output to obtain the proper attenuation and
better f requency characteristics.

8} DC OFFSET/Trc OUT
The DC offset function enables superimposition of DC voltage on output waveforms.
Superimposed voltage is limited to the waveform peak + DC with + 5V when the output
is terminated at 5O ohms. Without this termination, the voltage must be within + 1OV.
lf all FUNCTION switches (6) are released (pushed out), only the DC voltage is output.
The DC offset function is activated by pulling the DC OFFSET knob (7) out. The knob
must be turned clockwise to superimpose a positive voltage; it must be turned counter-
clockwise to superimpose a negative voltage. The VARIABLE knob of the ATTEI{UATION
control (8) cannot be used to change the DC offset voltage, but can be used to change
the amplitude of output waveforms.

9) Amplitude Modulation
The instrument provides an amplitude modulation when an external modulation signal is
supplied from the MOD lN terminal (17). The modulation signal frequency ranges from
DC to 1MHz. The maximum input voltage required for full (1OO%) modulation is SVp-p.
The input impedance is about 1O kohms. The control panel settings used for amplitude
modulation are as follows.

MODE (5) CW
FUNCTION N , /\/, or Ll-l
AM (16) ON

FREO. RANGE (3) Desired range
FREQ. dial (4) Desired position
DC OFFSET (7) Used if necessary
AM CARRIER LEVEL (22) Desired level
MOD LEVEL (20) Desired modulation level

The extent of the amplitude variation is expressed as the percentage of modulation. The
following formula defines the relationship between F" and F* {see Fig. 3-16)

1O) VCG Operation

The VCG (voltage controlled generator) provides output frequency control through the
applied voltage to the VCG lN terminal (27l,. By applying a voltage of O to 5V to the VCG
lN terminal, a frequency of up to x l OOO can be obtained (The frequency multiplication
of 1OO0 requires the FREO. dial setting ta "10" and an input voltage of -5V.)
The frequency modulation can be achieved by sending a modulation wave to the VCG
lN terminal. The input impedance is about 1Ok ohrns.
Fig. 3-19 shows the relationship between the VCG lN voltage and output frequency.

When, for example, the frequency range is set for x 1k with a FREO. dial reading af " 10"
(1OkHz), and -2V is applied to the VCG lN terminal, the output frequency is 6kHz indi-
cated by the dotted line in Fig. 3-15.

Note: Note that noise in the DC voltage or modulation signal supplied to the VCG lN may
cause undesirable frequency modulation.
