Getting Started
This chapter will introduce the user to SGX1000 series RF signal generators. The chapter will identify
objects on the front and rear panels, identify display organization, list the configuration of the
instrument after initializing, and provide practice exercises for front panel operation. For additional
information, see Section 4 "Operation."
3.1
Organization
Subsection 3.2 Operating Controls, Indicators, and Connections
identifies the control features and
connections on the front and rear panels.
Subsection 3.3 Touch Screen Display
describes the data fields in the continuous wave (CW) and Sweep
Mode displays.
Subsection 3.4 Initialization
explains how to turn the instrument on for the first time, set the
instrument up for operation, and initialize it to a known state. See Table 3-3 for initialized parameters
and their values.
Subsection 3.5 Operating Modes
describes the different operating modes for signal generation using
the SGX1000 Series.
Note
Available modes are CW and Sweep. (List will be made available at a later date via
firmware upgrade)
3.2
Operating Controls, Indicators, and Connections
Figures 3-1 and 3-2 illustrate the controls, indicators, and connectors on the front and rear panels,
respectively, of the standard instrument. Refer to Table 3-1 for a description of each of the illustrated
items. The function and operation of all controls, indicators, and connectors are the same on the
standard and optional models.
