Glossary

Pulse Width

PW is an abbreviation for pulse width and is divided into positive pulse and negative pulse width.

The positive pulse width is the time interval from 50% of the rising edge of the adjacent falling edge.

The negative pulse width is the time interval from 50% of the falling edge, 50% of the adjacent rising edge.

The settable range of pulse width is limited by the "minimum pulse width" "pulse period"

Pulse width ≥ minimum pulse width

Pulse width ≤ pulse period - minimum pulse width

Duty Cycle

In a series of ideal pulse sequences (such as a square wave), the ratio duration of the positive pulse to the total pulse period.

The pulse duty cycle is associated with the pulse width, and modifying the parameters will automatically modify the other parameter. The pulse cycle is limited by the "minimum pulse width" and "pulse period".

Pulse duty cycle ≥ minimum pulse width ÷ pulse period × 100%

Pulse duty cycle ≤ (1 - 2 × minimum pulse width ÷ pulse period) ×

Owon DGE3000 - Duty Cycle - 1

line | Period | Value | | ------------ | ----- | | Peak | 90% | | Low | 10% | | Mid | 50% | | High | 90% |

Rise time / Fall time

The rise time is defined as the time required for the pulse amplitude to from 10% threshold to 90% threshold;

The fall time is defined as the time required for the pulse amplitude to 90% threshold to 10% threshold as shown in the figure above.

AM frequency

The frequency of the modulating waveform.

Modulation Depth

The amplitude range of modulating waveform. In 0% modulation, the output amplitude is half of the specified value. In 100% modulation, the output amplitude is equal to the specified value.

As the carrier components do not carry information, the modulation efficiency is low. To improve the modulation efficiency, you can suppress the carrier components on the basis of the normal AM. At this point, all the modulated waveform components carry information. This mode is called DSB-AM (Double Sideband suppressed carrier modulation). The DSB-AM user interface is shown below.

CH1/2 Settings

Load

For either of Out1 and Out2 connector at the front panel, the generator has a 50Ω fixed serial output impedance. If the actual load does not match the specified value, the voltage level displayed would not match the voltage level of the component under test. This function is used to match the displayed voltage with the expected one.

The step to set the CH1 or CH2 load value is as follows:

(1) Press the Utility function key, press the CH1/2 Set softkey.
(2) Press the CH1 Load or CH2 Load softkey, press it again to select High Z or * ohm ("*" represents a value, the default is 50Ω).
(3) To change the load value, after selecting * ohm, turn the knob to adjust the value on the current cursor, use the direction key to move cursor left or right, or use the numeric keypad to enter the parameter and then select unit. The load range is 1Ω to 10k Ω.

Warning: The front panel of each output has a fixed series output impedance, no matter how much is the specified value for this parameter, if the actual load is different from the specified value, shows the voltage level and practical level.

Sync

The generator can output the sync signals of basic waveforms (except noise), arbitrary waveforms (except DC), sweep signal, burst signal, and modulated signal from a single channel or two channels at the same time.

The steps to enable or disable sync signal at the Sync/Ext Mod/Trig/FSK connector:

(1) Press the Utility function key, press the CH1/2 Set softkey.
(2) Press the System softkey, press the softkey to select CH1,CH2 and Off. When the sync signal select Ch1 or CH2, which sends the sync signal to the Sync connector. When the sync signal is Off, the output level at the Sync connector is logic low(The sync signal default is Off).
(3) Sync signals of various waveforms

- For sine, square, ramp and pulse waves, the sync signal is a square wave with a 50% duty cycle. When the waveform output is positive, the sync signal is TTL high with respect to the 0V voltage (or DC offset value). When the waveform output is negative, the sync signal is TTL low relative to the 0V voltage (or DC offset value).

  • For arbitrary waveform, the sync signal is a square wave with a variable duty cycle. When the output waveform amplitude reaches a certain value, the sync signal is TTL high.
  • For AM, FM, PM, and PWM, for internal modulation, the sync signal is referenced to the modulation frequency, and the sync signal is a square wave with a 50% duty cycle. In the first half of the modulation waveform, the sync signal is TTL high. When external modulation is performed, there is no sync signal output.
  • For ASK, FSK, PSK, BPSK, QPSK, 3FSK, 4FSK, the synchronization signal is referenced to the keying frequency, and the synchronization signal is a square wave with a duty cycle of 50% . There is no sync signal output during external modulation.
  • For OSK, the sync signal is referenced to the keyed frequency and the sync signal is a square wave with a 50% duty cycle. When the internal crystal oscillator starts, the sync signal is TTL high.
  • For N-cycle bursts, the sync signal is TTL high at the beginning of the burst. At the end of the specified number of cycles, the sync signal is TTL low (if the waveform has an associated Phase, it may not be a zero crossing). For an infinite count pulse train, the sync signal is the same as the sync signal of the continuous waveform.
  • For external gated bursts, the sync signal follows its gate signal. Note: This signal does not become TTL low until the end of the last cycle (if

the waveform has an associated starting phase, it may not be a zero crossing).

Align Phase : Select Align Phase in the bottom menu to align the initial phase of two channel signals.

Appendix B: General Care and Cleaning

General Maintenance

Do not store or leave the instrument where the liquid crystal display will be exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time.

Caution: To avoid any damage to the instrument or probe, do not exposed it to any sprays, liquids, or solvents.

Cleaning

Inspect the instrument and probes as often as operating conditions require. To clean the instrument exterior, perform the following steps:

  1. Wipe the dust from the instrument and probe surface with a soft cloth. Do not make any scuffing on the transparent LCD protection screen when clean the LCD screen.
  2. Disconnect power before cleaning your instrument. Clean the instrument with a wet soft cloth not dripping water. It is recommended to scrub with soft detergent or fresh water. To avoid damage to the instrument or probe, do not use any corrosive chemical cleaning agent.

Owon DGE3000 - Cleaning - 1

Warning: Before power on again for operation, it is required to co that the instrument has already been dried completely, avoiding any electrical short circuit or bodily injury resulting from the moisture.
