Prior to leaving the factory the following settings will be
stored:
– Frequency 1 kHz
– Amplitude 10 V

– No modulation
– Rotational control activated
– Pos. trigger
– Internal reference frequency
– Medium background lighting, contrast maximum
– Acoustical signal: maximum
– Maximum resolution of frequency display
– Output disabled
How to return to the factory settings:
At turn-on keep the ESC button depressed for several seconds,
this will erase all stored functions and restore the factory
settings.
Reset to the factory settings will also erase any

Operation of the HM 8131-2 will be predominantly via the menus.
The parameters are either set using the keyboard or the incre-
mental control knob. Most menus are self-explanatory.
Basic menu

The characters shown indicate:
Fr free-running with the frequency selected
Tr trigger mode selected with frequency selected
Gt gate mode selected with frequency selected
Sin sine
Tri triangle
Sqr square wave
+Rmp positive ramp
–Rmp negative ramp
Spc Special: arbitrary signal or noise selected
In the basic menu the selected frequency will be displayed. Also,
in this menu, the basic functions Sin, Tri, Sqr are selected. An
arrow selects the functions pos. sawtooth, neg. sawtooth,
spectrum. If any of the menus +rmp, –rmp, Spc was already
selected return to the basic menu is possible by using the
backwards arrow in order to select Sin, Tri, Sqr. The desired
functions are available via the menu pushbuttons
The function selected (Sin, Tri, Sqr, +rmp, –rmp) will be mar-
ked with a triangle. Upon selection of the function Spc another
menu will be entered in which arbitrary functions and noise
can be chosen.

How to control the menus

Addressing menus
Not all menus allow to reach any other menu as there are only
4 pushbuttons. In order to reach more menus in such case use
the symbol :
