4. Connect Output Cables: Connect BNC cables to the CH1 and/or CH2 output ports as needed for your application. Connect the other end of the cables to your oscilloscope, circuit, or other test equipment.
5. Connect External Input (Optional): If using the frequency counter function, connect the external signal source to the Ext.IN BNC connector.

6. Bedryfsinstruksies

6.1 Basiese werking

1. Kies kanaal: Druk die CH1/2 button to select either Channel 1 or Channel 2 for adjustment. The active channel will be indicated on the display.
2. Kies golfvorm: Druk die GOLF knoppie. Gebruik die AANPAS knob to scroll through available waveform types (Sine, Square, Pulse, etc.). Press OK om jou keuse te bevestig.
3. Pas frekwensie aan: With a waveform selected, the frequency parameter will typically be highlighted. Use the AANPAS knob to change the frequency. Press STEL to change the digit being adjusted for finer control.
