Using the Instrument
While familiarizing yourself with the instrument you will find
it useful to observe the outputs on an oscilloscope. For
most purposes it is sufficient to connect the MAIN OUT
front panel socket to the oscilloscope's Y input, and the
AUX OUT front panel socket to the oscilloscope's trigger
input.
If no oscilloscope is available you can still learn a great
deal about the instrument settings, since the effect of
front-panel operations is visible in the LCD display in the
form of text messages, parameter information, menus and
status information.
Starting up
The ac supply on/off switch is located at the bottom left
side of the front panel.
Caution
Before connecting to the ac supply, check
that the supply voltage setting is correct for
the region. Please refer to the Users Manual
if it needs to be changed.
Plug in and switch on the instrument
On power-up the LCD panel illuminates and the
instrument performs a series of self tests. In the event
that an error message is displayed please refer to the
Users Manual.
Check the LCD Display
It should look similar to the main menu shown in figure 1.
If not, press
RECALL, 0, ENTER to bring up the factory
default main menu.
