2-8. GENERAL
OPERATING
INFORMATION
The following
paragraphs
contain general information
on
the operation of
the
Generator.
This
includes all the
information required to
familiarize
the you with
the
instrument and
the differences
between
local and remote
operation.
2-9. Familiarization
Figure
2-3
shows
the front
panel
controls, indicator, and
connectors and Table
2-1
describes the
features.
Figure
2-4
shows the
rear
panel controls,
connectors,
and switches and
Table
2-2
describes the
features.
2-10. Local
Veraes
Remote
Operation
There
are two modes
of controlling the output
of the Generator. One
mode
uses the keys
on the
front panel; this
is
called local operation.
The
other mode
is
available
when the
IEEE488
Interface option
has
been installed, and
an IEEE-488
controller
is
used
to
control the
Generator. This
is
referred
to
as remote
operation. An overview
of
local
control is
presented first. The next
heading, Operating
Reference
Material, is
divided
into
two
parts. The
first
part covers local
and
remote control
operations
that have
similar
entry
methods. The
second
part, Remote
Operation,
contains
information
on commands
or
descriptions
that
pertain
only to remote
operations.
2-1 1 . Power-On
Sequence
When
the
Generator
is turned on, a
power-on sequence is started.
During the
power-on
sequence,
the
microprocessor
tests the analog
circuitry,
the program ROM,
the scratch-
pad
RAM, and
the front panel
displays.
The front panel displays
are tested by
lighting
all
segments
for a brief
period at the
same
time the rest of the
self
tests are
performed.
If any
of the self tests fail,
an error code is
displayed. If the
operator initiates any
front
panel entry
before the
power-on
sequence is
completed,
the self
test
is
aborted, and the
Generator is set to
the state it was in
when turned off. In
addition, the RF
output is turned
on.
Table
2-3
lists the
Instrument
Preset State.
Power-on
instrument
settings
that
relate
to the optional
IEEE-488
Interface
are
described in the
Remote Operation
paragraphs in
this section.
2-12.
Changing
Output
Parameters
The four
parameters of
the Generator (i.e.,
frequency,
amplitude,
amplitude
modulation
(AM), and
frequency
modulation
(FM)) may be
changed
by one of
three methods:
FUNCTION-DATA-UNIT
Bright-Digit
Edit
Step Entry
These
different
methods
all accomplish
the
same result but use
different
approaches.
The
reason
for
this
apparent
redundancy is to
reduce the chance of
error during
complex
test
procedures
that
require
continuously
resetting
parameters or in
those
cases
when
a test is
partly
under
remote
control and only some
of
the parameters
require
changes.
