2. Collegamento elettrico: Connect the supplied power cord to the power input on the rear panel of the device, then plug the other end into a grounded AC power outlet (100-240V, 50/60Hz).
3. Accensione: Press the power button located on the front panel to turn on the device. The display will illuminate, and the system will perform a self-test.
4. Connessione di uscita: Connect your test leads or cables to the desired output channels (CH1 or CH2) on the front panel.

6. Istruzioni per l'uso

The FG-32502T offers a wide range of waveform generation and modulation capabilities. The main display shows the settings for both channels, and dedicated buttons and a rotary encoder allow for precise control.

6.1 Basic Waveform Generation (Sine, Square, Pulse, Ramp)

1. Seleziona canale: Press the CH1 or CH2 button to select the channel you wish to configure.
2. Seleziona forma d'onda: Press the 'Function' button, then use the navigation keys or rotary encoder to select the desired basic waveform (e.g., Sine, Square, Pulse, Ramp).
3. Regola i parametri: Use the dedicated parameter buttons (e.g., Frequency, Amplitude, Offset) and the rotary encoder to adjust the waveform characteristics.

Example: Pulse Waveform Setup

To set up a pulse waveform, select 'Pulse' from the function menu. You can then adjust parameters such as Frequency, Amplitude, Offset, Width, Rising Edge, and Falling Edge.

6.2 forme d'onda arbitrarie

The device supports 152 built-in arbitrary waveform groups. To use an arbitrary waveform:

1. Select 'Arb' from the function menu.
2. Navigate through the available arbitrary waveform groups using the rotary encoder.
3. Adjust parameters like frequency and amplitude secondo necessità.

6.3 Modulation Options

The FG-32502T offers various modulation types, including AM, FM, PM, FSK, ASK, BPSK, PSK, PWM, and 3FSK. To apply modulation:

1. Select the desired waveform for the carrier signal.
2. Press the 'Mod' button.
3. Select the modulation type and adjust its parameters (e.g., modulation depth, frequency, source).

6.4 Counter Function

The device includes a frequency counter. To use the counter:

1. Connect the signal to be measured to the counter input.
2. Press the 'Counter' button to activate the function.
3. The display will show the measured frequency.

7. Manutenzione

7.1 Pulizia

To clean the device, disconnect it from the power supply. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp È possibile utilizzare un panno imbevuto di detergente delicato, assicurandosi che non penetri liquido nel dispositivo. Non utilizzare detergenti abrasivi o solventi.

7.2 Conservazione
