USERS TUTORIAL
The sophisticated facilities of the DSA524 have resulted in a fairly complex instrument. This "hands-on" tutorial takes the user through
most of the functions of the unit step by step, and provides an easy method of gaining familiarity with its operation.
New users should follow the tutorial exactly and resist the temptation to experiment with functions before they have been covered.
Existing users may find the tutorial useful for covering functions with which they are not yet familiar. Each section is complete in itself
and commences with the DSA being "reset" using SHIFT followed by RESET, and with the signal generator being set to SINE, 20kHz,
5V pk-pk.
