The Stanford Research Systems DS360 Ultra Low Distortion Function Generator Operating Manual provides safety guidelines, setup, operation, programming…
The manual begins with safety warnings and power‑line selection instructions, describing the correct AC voltage settings, fuse values and grounding requirements for the DS360. Front‑panel controls, power switch, fan and detachable power cord are explained to ensure safe handling of the instrument.
Subsequent chapters cover basic operation, detailed programming syntax, function configuration, testing procedures and performance verification. A complete parts list, circuitry overview and extensive specifications—including frequency range, THD, output amplitude, noise performance and interface options—are provided for users and service technicians.
| Frequency range (sine, square, burst) | 0.01 Hz to 200 kHz |
|---|---|
| Output amplitude (balanced, 50 Ω load) | 10 µVpp – 28.8 Vpp |
| Resolution (voltage) | 4 digits or 1 µV, whichever is greater |
| Sample rates (digital audio output) | 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz |
| Power input voltage | 100 V, 120 V, 220 V or 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz |
| Fuse rating (100/120 V AC) | Two ½ A fuses |
| Fuse rating (220/240 V AC) | Two ¼ A fuses |
The DS360 can be powered from 100 V, 120 V, 220 V or 240 V AC at 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
Two ¼ A fuses must be installed when the unit is set for 220 V or 240 V AC.
The instrument can be controlled via GPIB or RS‑232 interfaces.
