OPERATIONAL VERIFICATION TESTING
6-3
Test procedures
Each test procedure shows you how to configure the test equipment, followed by a description of
how to perform the test, with tables for recording your results. Maximum and minimum limits that
all measurements should fall within are indicated, provided that the recommended test equipment
has been used and the precautions above adhered to.
If any measurements fall outside the limits, this could indicate a faulty instrument or a problem
with the configuration or settings of the test equipment.
Each test procedure relies on the UUT being set to its power-on conditions. To avoid switching
the instrument off and back on, reset the UUT by selecting:

Checking that the instrument powers up correctly
This test ensures that the signal generator powers up in a satisfactory manner and that the internal
self-tests do not report any errors.
• Check that no external signal sources are connected.
• Switch on the power on/off switch on the rear panel.
This supplies power to the instrument, which is now in standby mode (the LED on the front
panel lights up amber).
• Press the supply switch on the front panel until the LED lights up green and the instrument
powers up.
The instrument displays a welcome screen, followed by a screen of instrument details (instrument
and software version), a self-test, and then the main SIG GEN screen.
• Ensure that no error messages are displayed.
