Before You Begin
This chapter will guide you through the steps required to check the operation of the SRG-4500. The most common
scenarios will be explored to enable the user to familiarize themselves with the operation of the unit.
Although some steps are included which suggest cycling through menu options in order to check operation, this is
not mandatory - a simple check for presence or absence of a signal will suffice.
For More Information on...
• the configurable menus and fields for the SRG-4500, refer to the chapter “ DashBoard Interface Overview ” on
page 97.
Initial Power-Up
The SRG-4500 menu system contains an appreciable number of pre-programmed and user selectable settings. All
of these settings are programmed using the factory default procedure, and a select few are then adjusted during
testing and alignment. This is especially true of the Calibration menu, where settings relating to the fundamental
operation of each individual SRG-4500 are stored. If memory corruption occurs, some or all of the settings may
need to be re-instated.
1. Ensure that the SRG-4500 is not powered on.
2. Connect any relevant video cables to the SRG-4500, with reference to the diagram in the section “
Rear Panel
Overview ” on page 22.
3. Apply power to the SRG-4500 by connecting it to the power source(s). The instrument runs its power-on
initialization process.
4. Check that no error messages appear on the LCD display.
5. The Front Panel menu display can also be made to simultaneously appear on any of the video outputs - there is
a menu entry for each output to enable this facility. By default, the menu is enabled on all video outputs.
