2. Configuració
2.1 Connexió d'alimentació
Connect the provided USB Type-C data cable to the Type-C port on the side of the generator. Connect the other end of the cable to a 5V, 0.2A power source (e.g., a computer USB port or a USB wall adapter).
2.2 Connexió de sortida
The RF signal output is available via the SMA Female connector labeled "RFout". Connect your test equipment (e.g., spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope) to this port using an appropriate SMA cable.
2.3 PC Control Setup (Optional)
The generator can be controlled via a PC. To enable this, connect the USB Type-C data cable to your computer. You will need to obtain the specific PC control software from the manufacturer or seller. Once the software is installed and the device is connected, you can manage the generator's functions from your computer.

3.1 Encès/Apagat
Locate the "ON/OFF" switch on the device. Toggle it to power the unit on or off.
3.2 Selecting PLL Chip (ADF4351/ADF4350)
On the touch screen, you may find an option to select the PLL chip, typically labeled "PLL Chip: ADF4351" (or ADF4350). Tap this area to switch between the available chip configurations if your device supports both or if you need to match specific operational parameters.
3.3 Dot Frequency Mode
- Tap the "Point Freq" input field to enter the desired frequency.
- Use the on-screen keypad to input the frequency value.
- Select the appropriate unit (MHz, GHz, etc.) if available.
- Tap "Freq" or a similar button to apply the setting.
- Tap "Point" under the "Command" section to activate dot frequency output.
3.4 Sweep Frequency Mode
- Tap the "Sweep Freq Start" input field to set the starting frequency for the sweep.
- Tap the "Sweep Freq Stop" input field to set the ending frequency for the sweep.
- Tap the "Step" input field to define the frequency increment for the sweep.
- Tap "Sweep" under the "Command" section to initiate the frequency sweep.
- To stop the sweep, tap "Stop".
3.5 Menú de configuració
Tap the "Setting" button under the "Command" section to access additional configuration options, which may include output power adjustment, modulation settings, or display preferences. Refer to the on-screen prompts for specific options.
4. Manteniment
