Preparation Information 

 

Before  initiating  performance  verification  or  any  adjustments,  it  is 
recommended to follow these procedures. The following topics are discussed 
in this chapter. 

 

  How to perform functional checks 

  How to operate performance verification test 

 

For  more  detailed  information  about  the  signal  generator  operation,  please 

refer to the SSG3000X User Manual. 

Functional check 

 

There  are  three  types  of  checks  used  to  determine  if  the  signal  generator  is 

operating properly. 

Power-on Inspection 

 

The normal operating voltage for SSG3000X series signal generators is in the 
range of 100-240 VRMS, 50 Hz/ 60 Hz/ 440 Hz.   
 
Please use the power cord provided with the accessories to connect the 
instrument to the power source as shown in the figure below. 

 

 

Figure 1-1 Connect power cord 

 

Note:  To  avoid  electric  shock,  make  sure  that  the  instrument  is 

correctly grounded to the earth before connecting AC power.

 

 

Press  the  power-on  button  located  at  the  lower  left  corner  of  the  front  panel 

and several keys will illuminate for about 6 seconds. Then, the boot screen will 

appear on the display.   

The front panel is shown in the figure below.
