5. Features and Functions
This chapter makes it easy to look up details about a particular feature of the waveform generator. It
also covers the front-panel operations. You should read Chpter2 'Front-panel Menu Operation' first
and master the basic operation so as to get a better understanding for this chapter.

There are six working modes for the waveform generator,
While, CHA covers four modes: continuous output, modulate output, sweep output and burst output.
Notice that the modulate output covers seven types: FM, AM, PM, PWM, Sum, FSK and BPSK.
And sweep output covers two types: Frequency sweep and List sweep.
CHB covers two modes: continuous output and dual channel operation.
Dual channel operation includes frequency coupling, amplitude coupling and waveform combine.
Besides, the frequency counter is just an additional part which has no any relationship with CHA/CHB.
In a word, one dual-purpose instrument- waveform generator and frequency counter.
