Chapter 2, INITIAL CHECKS

2-2

5) Set the signal generator to 1 kHz, 10 mV pk-pk and connect it’s output to the

INPUT BNC connector. Use the oscilloscope to monitor the signal generator
amplitude settings so as to obtain consistency between input settings and output
readings.

6) Monitor the 5184 output; the output level should be 10 V pk-pk.

7) Set the 5184 input GROUND / ISOLATE switch to the up (ISOLATE)

position.

8) The output level should still be 10 V pk-pk.

9) Return the POWER switch to the center (OFF) position.

This completes the initial checks. If the instrument performed as indicated, one can be
reasonably sure that it has arrived in good working order and is functioning properly.
