Functional Test
To functionally test the GB1400, connect the Generator to the Analyzer and confirm
their correct operation as described below.
Note
In these procedures, the Generator and Analyzer are returned to their default
settings. The word memories will be reset. If you have entered word patterns
that you do not want to lose, use a GPIB or RS-232C controller to save them
before beginning these procedures

Step 2:
Reset both the Generator and Analyzer to their factory default settings.
Press the ‘CLEAR’ key in the PATTERN section, the ‘MSB(1)’ key and the ‘VIEW
