Introduction of the instrument

This manual applies to each mode of SGP10xxS series Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) Signal
Generator. In this series, the last two digits “xx” represent the upper limit frequency value (MHz)
of each mode.
SGP10xxS series use direct digital synthesis (DDS) technology and FPGA design. With wide
voltage power supply (DC9V-DC40V), it can output Sine wave, Square wave (Duty cycle
adjustable from 1% to 99%) and Triangle wave (include sawtooth wave). Maximum effective
output is greater than 10Vpp with resolution of 0.01Hz (10mHz). Output amplitude and DC offset
can be adjusted continuously. It has two sweep functions, linear sweep and logarithmic sweep.
Both the sweep range and the sweep time can be set up optionally. Meanwhile, it integrates other
multiple functions into one, including synchronized TTL output, exterior frequency measuring and
counter function. It has the advantages of convenient operation, high stability of the signal,
one-key operation, BNC port output, output amplitude one-key Attenuation, Dual-channel TTL
electric level differentially output, Embedded panel mounting structure, easy integration with
customer products etc.. It’s the ideal instrument for electronic enthusiasts, laboratories, production
lines, teaching and scientific researchers. It can also be used as supporting module for industrial
equipment. Recently, it has already widely used in teaching instruments and industrial control
equipments. It is a highly cost-effective product!

Operating Guide
1. Press the button【Menu】 to switch between Frequency adjusting and Function
adjusting. The detailed condition (frequency adjusting or function adjusting)
displayed after “*”

2. As frequency adjusting, pressing the button 【】 or 【】 to adjust position of

cursor, and pressing the button【Confirm】to toggle unit of frequency (Hz，kHz or
MHz), and then adjusting the【Main knob】to set the corresponding value of
frequency.

Step frequency：1 kHz

Step frequency：100 kHz etc.

The frequency unit is Hz

SGP10xxS Users Manual

The frequency unit is MHz

3. As function adjusting, pressing the button 【】or【】to toggle among
“WAVE”， “DUTY”，“COUNTER”，“EXT.FREQ”，“SWEEP”,“SAVE”,
“LOAD”.
4. The “WAVE” shows the current wave state. Press the button【Wave】to toggle the
current output of waveform among SINE, TRGL and SQUR.

Main output of waveform is SINE.

Main output of waveform if SQUR.

Main output of waveform is TRGL.

5. The “DUTY” means duty cycle. It can be adjusted by rotating the【Main knob】.
SQUR adjusted from 1% to 99%, while TRGL adjusted among 50% (standard
TRGL), above 50% and below 50% (both are different sawtooth waves). SIN is
disabled in this case.

6. Press the button 【EXT.FREQ/COUNTER】to switch between COUNTER
function and EXT.FREQ function.
（1）、The “COUNTER” means counter function, and the counter values
displayed on the screen. Impulse can be inputted from the port【Ext. Input】.
Reset it to “0”as pressing the button【Confirm】to recount.
SGP10xxS Users Manual

（2）、The “EXT.FREQ”means exterior frequency measuring function, which

can measure the frequency of input signal from the port【Ext. Input】.

7. Press the button【Save】to save the value of current frequency, waveform and duty
cycle into internal storage for loading next time. There are 10 storage positions
from M0 to M9, which can be chosen by rotating the【Main knob】. Then press the
button 【 Confirm 】 to save. When “OK” appears on the right corner of the
screen, storage is finished. If the current value is saved to “M0”position, the
changed value will be loaded when restarted. (Under sweep function state, the
starting frequency is defined at M1 and the stop frequency is defined at M2. So if
the sweep function need to be run, the frequency values fM1 and fM2 must to be
set firstly and make sure the values fM2>fM1)

（Choose storage position）

(Save to “0 position” is OK)

8. The “LOAD” is function of loading the parameters of memory. Operation is
similar to SAVE.
9. The “TIME” is the function of setting sweep time. It can be set from 1 second to
99 seconds.

10. The “SWEEP” is the function of sweep includes LIN-SWEEP Mode and
LOG-SWEEP Mode. The default setting is LIN-SWEEP Mode. You can rotate the
【Main knob】 to switch between these two modes. Then press the button
【Confirm】 to start and press it again to stop. But primarily the starting
frequency (fM1) and stop frequency (fM2) need to be set in the “LOAD”
function and sweep time need to be set in the “TIME” function.

11. TTL output the synchronized TTL wave of the same frequency. (Note: Remove
SGP10xxS Users Manual

the front panel and you will find “J6” port on the right of DC Offset Adjust
potentiometer. Dual-channel differential TTL electric level can be output through
this port.
12. The【AMPL】knob adjusts the amplitude of output signal.
13. The【DC Offset Adjust】knob adjusts the DC offset of output signal.
14. The buzzer function. Each time when you press a button or rotate a knob, an
impulse will be generated and the buzzer will beep once. It will beep longer if
invalid operation is conducted. The buzzer can be turned off by pressing and
holding the button【Menu】and then turning on the power switch in shutdown state
if it is noisy. The buzzer can be turned on by repeating above operations.
15. Press down the button【Attenuator】, the output signal will be attenuated by 20dB.
Press up the button【Attenuator】, the output signal will not be attenuated.
16. Press the button【Output/Stop】, if “STOP OUTPUT”displayed on the second
line of the screen, it means the instrument has stopped output. If something others are
displayed, it means the instrument outputs signal normally.
