Frequency multiplier and wave cycle multiplier are two completely different things.

Entering a Frequency Multiplier will only change the value of the frequency. Entering a Wave Cycle Multiplier has no effect on the frequency value. Instead, it alters how Spooky2 constructs the waveform, and thus allows the generator to output frequencies higher than its built-in hardware limit. It also allows Spooky2 to create complex waveforms like the damped sine/square and H-Bomb waveforms.



Two examples help you understand

Example 1

Lets say you have the following set:

10, 16, 24

if a Frequency Multiplier = 2,

then frequencies:20, 32, 48

if Wave Cycle Multiplier = 2,

then frequencies:5, 8, 12

The software will show it generated 10, 16, 24, but the Spook

y2-XM display will show 5, 8, 12. This is because the wavefor

m contains 2 cycles.



Example 2

You can use the frequency set of 10, 16, 24 to generate the frequencies 10 MHz, 16 MHz, 24 Mhz (MHz = million hertz).

One might try setting the Frequency Multiplier = 1000000 (1 Mhz), to get the desired set. However, the Spooky2-XM internal clock can only go to 5000000 (5 Mhz), so the software sends a command to the Spooky2-XM to generate the following frequencies: 5000000, 4000000, 3000000.

These are the highest Octal sub harmonics of your desired frequencies under the 5 MHz limit of the XM.



However, if you use the Wave Cycle Multiplier to 10 in conjunction with the Frequency multiplier = 1000000 (1 MHz), the software will send a command to the Spooky2-XM to generate the following frequencies:1000000, 1600000, 2400000.

The software will show it generated 10 MHz, 16 MHz, 24MHz, but the Spooky2-XM will show it generated 1 MHz, 1.6 MHz and 2.4 MHz.



Thank you!
