RTX130B QAM & VSB RF Signal Generator Service Manual
Manual Conventions
This manual uses certain conventions with which you should become familiar.
Some sections of the manual contain procedures for you to perform. To keep
those instructions clear and consistent, this manual uses the following
conventions:
H
Names of front panel controls and menus appear in the same case (initial
capitals, all uppercase, and so forth) in the manual as is used on the
RTX130B front panel and menus.
H
Instruction steps are numbered unless there is only one step.
H
Bold
text refers to specific interface elements that you are instructed to
select, click, or clear.
Example: Press the
Menu
button to open the
File
menu.
H
Italic text refers to document names or sections. Italics are also used in
NOTES, CAUTIONS, and WARNINGS.
Example: The Diagrams section, beginning on page 6-1, includes a block
diagram and an interconnect diagram.
Throughout this manual, any replaceable component, assembly, or part of the
RTX130B is referred to generically as a module. In general, a module is an
assembly (like a circuit board), rather than a component (like a resistor or an
integrated circuit). Sometimes a single component is a module. For example, the
chassis of the RTX130B is a module.
Symbols and terms related to safety appear in the General Safety Summary and
Service Safety Summary
near the beginning of this manual.
