Verifying the Functionality of the Signal Generator

Power On the Signal Generator and Check for Error Messages

This procedure verifies that the signal generator powers up and that the internal instrument check 
identifies no errors.

1. Turn power on to the signal generator by pressing the power switch. The green LED will light. Let the 

signal generator warm up for one hour.

2. Cycle the power to the signal generator. The green LED should again be lit and the signal generator 

performs a check.

3. When the display is lit, check to see if the 

ERR

 annunciator is turned on.

4. If the 

ERR

 annunciator is turned on, review the error messages in the queue by pressing 

Utility

 > 

Error Info

. The first error message in the queue is shown in the text area of the display. Refer to the 

service guide for information about the error message.

If there is more than one error message (each message will be designated as 1 of n), press the 

View Next 

Error Message

 softkey until you have seen all of the messages.

5. When you have resolved all of the error messages, press 

Clear Error Queue(s)

 to delete the messages. 

Then restart this procedure at step two.

NOTE

For signal generators with Option 1E5, 

ERROR 514, Reference Oven Cold

 will occur 

whenever the signal generator is first connected to AC line power. The 

OVEN COLD

 

annunciator and the 

ERR

 annunciator will both turn on. The 

OVEN COLD

 annunciator will 

automatically clear after approximately 5 minutes. The error queue cannot be cleared, 
however, until the 

OVEN COLD

 annunciator has turned off.
