To prepare the generator for use
To prepare the generator for use
The following steps will help you verify that the generator is ready for use.
1. Check the list of supplied items.
Verify that you have received the following items with your arbitrary waveform generator.
• One power cord
• One serial interface cable
• The instrument operation manual on CD ROM.
2. Check the power mains voltage setting on the rear-panel.
Verify that the mains voltage is set to the range for your location. You can verify the setting by observ-
ing the position of the slide switches on the rear panel. Refer to the rear panel diagram on page III.
3. Connect the power cord and turn on the generator.
The generator power switch is located at the lower left corner of the front-panel. The front-panel display
will light up and indicate the name, the model number and the firmware version release level.
4. Press OUTPUT button, select ON (F1 softkey) and then press ENTER.
The LED above OUTPUT connector turns on. Now, the generator output is on.
5. Connect a BNC cable from the OUTPUT connector to an oscilloscope input.
Terminate the cable at the oscilloscope input with 50
Ω
load.
6. Connect a BNC cable from the front panel SYNC OUT connector to the external sync input of
the oscilloscope.
Make an adjustment to the oscilloscope to synchronize the output waveform on the display.
