To prepare the function generator for use
The following steps help you verify that the function generator is
ready for use.
1 Check the list of supplied items.
Verify that you have received the following items with your function
generator. If anything is missing, contact your nearest Hewlett-Packard
Sales Office.
One power cord.
This User’s Guide .
One Service Guide .
One folded Quick Reference card.
Certificate of Calibration.
2 Connect the power cord and turn on the function generator.
The front-panel display will light up while the function generator
performs its power-on self-test. The
HP-IB
bus address is displayed.
Notice that the function generator powers up in the sine wave function
at 1 kHz with an amplitude of 100 mV peak-to-peak (into a 50
Ω
termination).
To review the power-on display with all annunciators turned on,
hold down
Shift
as you turn on the function generator.
3 Perform a complete self test.
The complete self-test performs a more extensive series of tests than
those performed at power-on. Hold down
Shift
as you press the Power
switch to turn on the function generator; hold down the key for more
than 5 seconds . The self-test will begin when you release the key.
If the self-test is successful, “
PASS
” is displayed on the front panel.
If the self-test is not successful, “
FAIL
” is displayed and the
ERROR
annunciator turns on. See the Service Guide for instructions on
returning the function generator to Hewlett-Packard for service.
