1 Introduction

VSG6G1/VSG2G1/TSG4G1 is a USB RF signal generator that plugs on PC and works using PC or tablet application.

For VSG6G1: the RF frequency range is from 1MHz to 6.2GHz, amplitude output range will be -60dBm~10dBm.

For VSG2G1: the RF frequency range is from 30MHz to 2.2GHz, amplitude output range will be -60dBm~10dBm.

For TSG4G1: frequency range is from 35MHz to 4.4GHz, and amplitude is from -60dBm to 0dBm.

VSG6G1 /VSG2G1/TSG4G1 will be very easy to use. The application's user interface is designed to be just like

the front panel of normal desktop signal generators, allowing signal generator users to easily pick up and use the

application intuitively without a high learning curve. If your PC or tablet support touch screen, the user

experience will be even more realistic to a desktop signal generator.

key is similar to desktop equipment

Frist select the digital at second function, frequency, amplitude and timing.

Then operate keypad , navigation keys and Knob to change the input value.

Knob Operation

When the mouser cursor hovers over each of the four buttons on the knob: ++, +, --, - icon will display.

Click and hold on each icon to increase or decrease value:

++ fast increase

+ slowly increase

-- fast decrease

- Slowly decrease

After installation, the program file will be installed at program file folder.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Triarchy Tech\USB Vector Signal Generator

The application data will be generated at Document folder:

C:\Users\Username\Documents\Triarchy Tech\TSG Signal Generator

Customer need to check the application data at document folder.

Calibration folder stores the calibration file. There multiple calibration files in the folder. You can generate new

calibration file and stored in same folder.

Hardcopy folder: stores the image file which generated by hardcopy key.

Hopping folder: stores the hopping files.

IQ Modulation folder: stores all the modulation file.

Setting folder: save file, preset, and specific setting are stored in it, then using load key to resumed the previous setting.

You can add more files into document folder, so that more modulation signal can be generated.
