1. Power on/off. When powering on the unit, the 33120A performs a self test. If the self test fails, contact a lab technician. 2. Waveform select. Choose from Sine, Square, Triangle, Ramp, Noise and Arbitrary. Selecting the shift key first lets you access Amplitude Modulation, Frequency Modulation, Frequency Shift Keying ...

In order to measure the signals coming from the Agilent 33120A signal generator, you need to be able to

understand and operate an oscilloscope. You should read the UTA Quick Start Guide for the Tektronix TBS 1052B-EDU Oscilloscope (http://www.uta.edu/ee/current-students/UG-lab/user-guides/Tektronix- TBS1052B-EDU-UTA-Quick-Guide.pdf) before pr ...

Adjusting the Amplitude

There are two methods for adjusting the amplitude. Method 1 Press the left and right arrow keys to select a digit on the display, then spin the wheel to increase/decrease the value. Method 2 Press the button Enter Number, it has green lettering, then type in your desired value using the green numbers to the left of the buttons. Then ...

2. You will probably see the Sinc waveform (the default for Arb). See Figure 3.

3. To access the entire list of arbitrary waveforms press Shift -> Arb List. Then use the right or left arrow keys to scroll through the arbitrary list. Select NEG_RAMP and press the Enter button. Repeat this step to view the other arbitrary waveforms. See Figure 4. Figure 3: S ...

Normally the Agilent 33120A signal generator sends a continuous signal. You can change this by setting

up burst mode. Observe the output of the signal generator with the oscilloscope to see how burst mode works. 1. Set the frequency to 1kHz and the amplitude to 1 Vpp. 2. Press the Shift button then press the Burst button. 3. The default burst count i ...

Setting up a Sweeping Frequency There are times when you will want to sweep certain frequencies through a circuit. Testing the frequency response of a bandpass filter is a good example. 1. Set the frequency to 1kHz and the amplitude to 1 Vpp. Ensure the signal generator is in High Z m ...

2. You might be able to hear a local A.M. station, but we are going to overpower the signal with

the signal generator. Press Shift -> AM to turn on the amplitude modulation. 3. Set the oscilloscope to 200 mVpp and 2.50ms. See figure 8. 4. Press Shift -> Freq. The signal generator now displays MOD 100.0 Hz. The default is 100 Hz. Too low for you to hear on ...

Figure 10: 50 % Depth of an A.M. signal. Frequency Modulation Frequency modulation varies the frequency of the higher frequency carrier wave to convey the frequency and amplitude of another lower frequency wave. 1. Set the signal generator to 1kHz and 1Vpp. Be sure the signal generator is in HIGH Z mode. ...
