1. External 10 MHz input interface

Build synchronization between multiple function and arbitrary waveform generator or

synchronizing with external 10 MHz clock signal. When the instrument detects a 10 MHz

clock signal (input requirement: frequency is 10 MHz, amplitude is TTL), the signal will

automatically be the external clock source, an icon

will displayed at the upper right

on the user page. If the external clock source is missing, over limit or not connected, the

clock source will automatically switch to the internal and an icon

will disappear.

2. Internal 10 MHz output interface

Build synchronization between multiple function and arbitrary waveform generator or export

the reference frequency with external 10 MHz clock signal.

3. USB Host

This port is used to connect to the upper computer for remote control.

4. FSK/Trig/Counter (external digital modulation/trigger signal/frequency meter/signal output

of sweep frequency and pulse string)

In ASK, FSK, PSK, OSK, when the modulation source is external, a modulation signal (TTL)

can be imported via the external digital modulation interface. The output amplitude,

frequency and phase will be determined by the signal from the external digital modulation

interface.

When trigger source of sweep frequency is external, a TTL with specified polarity can be

imported via the external digital modulation interface. This pulse signal can enable the

sweep frequency.

When the pulse string mode is gate, the trigger source of N cycle and infinite is external, a

7 / 29

UTG2000X Series Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator-Quick Guide

When the parameter tracking is selected, frequency tracking, amplitude tracking and phase tracking should be set. When the channel tracking is selected, the phase deviation should be set. 3. Phase Deviation Select the softkey PhaseDeviation in the channel tracking menu, use numerical keyboard to enter the phase deviation of CH2-CH1. CH1 and CH2 are reference sources to each other. If a parameter of one of the channels (which is the reference source) is changed, the parameter of the other channel will automatically copy the parameter of the reference channel, and only the phase will maintain the specified deviation from the reference channel. 4. Frequency Tracking The softkey FreqFollow can be selected in the channel tracking menu. The frequency tracking mode of CH1 and CH2 can set to ratio, deviation or OFF. CH1 and CH2 are reference sources to each other. If a parameter of one of the channels (which is the reference source) is changed, the frequency of the other channel will be automatically adjusted, and always maintain the specified ration and deviation from the reference channel. Ratio: CH2:CH1; Deviation: CH2-CH1 When the softkey Deviation is selected, use numerical keyboard to enter the deviation value. When the softkey Rate is selected, use numerical keyboard to enter the ratio. 5. Amplitude Tracking The softkey AmpFollow can be selected in the channel tracking menu. The amplitude tracking mode of CH1 and CH2 can set to ratio, deviation or OFF. CH1 and CH2 are reference sources to each other. If a parameter of one of the channels (which is the reference source) is changed, the amplitude of the other channel will be automatically adjusted, and always maintain the specified ration and deviation from the reference channel. Ratio: CH2:CH1; Deviation: CH2-CH1 When the softkey Deviation is selected, use numerical keyboard to enter the deviation value. When t the softkey Rate is selected, use numerical keyboard to enter the ratio. 6. Phase Tracking The softkey PhasFollow can be selected in the channel tracking menu. The phase tracking mode of CH1 and CH2 can set to ratio, deviation or OFF. CH1 and CH2 are reference sources to each other. If a parameter of one of the channels (which is the reference source) is changed, the phase of the other channel will be automatically adjusted, and always maintain the specified ration and deviation from the reference channel. Ratio: CH2:CH1; Deviation:

3.2.5 Frequency Meter
This function/arbitrary waveform generator can measure the frequency and duty cycle of compatible TTL signals. The range of measurement frequency is 100 mHz200 MHz. When use the frequency meter, a compatible TTL signal is imported via the external digital modulation or frequency meter interface (FSK/Trig/Counter). Select Utility Counter key in turn to read the value of signal “frequency”, “period”, “duty cycle”, “positive pulse” or “negative pulse” in the parameter list. If there is no signal input, the parameter list of the frequency meter is always display the last measured value. The frequency meter will only refresh the display when a compatible TTL signal is imported via the external digital modulation or frequency meter interface (FSK/Trig/Counter).
3.2.6 Arbitrary Wave Manager

3.2.7 Network Setting
Select Utility LAN Config key in turn to enter the network setting page.
1. Access mode Press the softkey IP Type to select manual or automatic.
2. IP address The format IP address is nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, the range of the first nnn is 1~223the range of other three nnn is 0~255. It is recommended that you consult network administrator for an available IP address. Select the softkey IP, use the numerical keyboard, rotary knob or arrow key to enter IP address. This setting can be saved to nonvolatile memory. The instrument will automatically load the set IP address when the instrument is rebooted.
3. Subnet mask The format of subnet mask address is nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn the range of nnn is 0~255. It is recommended that you consult network administrator for an available subnet mask. Select the softkey Mask, use the numerical keyboard, rotary knob or arrow key to enter subnet mask. The instrument will automatically load the set IP address when the instrument is rebooted.
