To Prepare the Function Generator for Use
1 Check the list of supplied items.
Verify that you have received the following items with your instrument.
If anything is missing, please contact your nearest Agilent Sales Office.
❑ One power cord.
❑ One User’s Guide.
❑ This Service Guide.
❑ One folded Quick Reference Guide.
❑ Certificate of Calibration.
❑ Connectivity software on CD-ROM.
❑ One RS-232 cable.
2 Connect the power cord and turn on the function generator.
Several power-on information messages are displayed after the function
generator performs its power-on self-test. The GPIB address is displayed.
The function generator powers up in the sine wave function at 1 kHz
with an amplitude of 100 mV peak-to-peak (into a 50Ω termination).
At power-on, the Output connector is disabled. To enable the Output
connector, press the key.
If the function generator does not turn on, verify that the power cord is
firmly connected to the power receptacle on the rear panel (the power-
line voltage is automatically sensed at power-on). You should also make
sure that the function generator is connected to a power source that is
energized. Then, verify that the function generator is turned on.
If you need further assistance, refer to chapter 6 for instructions on
returning the function generator to Agilent for service.
