Preparing for Use
Installing the Signal Generator
CAUTION: This product is designed for use in INSTALLATION CATEGORY II and POLLUTION
DEGREE 2, per IEC 1010 and 664 respectively.
WARNING If this product is not used as specified, the protection provided by the
equipment could be impaired. This product must be used in a normal
condition only (in which all means for protection are intact).
Cleaning the Signal Generator
Clean the instrument cabinet using a damp cloth only.
Adjusting the Display Contrast
You can adjust the contrast of the display by pressing the decrease contrast key
or the increase contrast key . These keys are located on the front
panel below the display.
Pressing the decrease contrast key and holding it down causes the display
background to gradually darken in comparison to the text on the display. The
minimum contrast setting is not a completely black display. Some contrast
between the background and the text will still be visible.
Pressing the increase contrast key and holding it down causes the display
background to gradually brighten in comparison to the text on the display. If the
background does not appear to change, it is probably set to the maximum contrast.
Selecting Inverse Video
The normal display mode for the signal generator is dark text on a light
background. To change to inverse video (light text on a dark background), press
Utility, Display and set Inverse Video Off On to On. Inverse video is a persistent
state; it is not affected by an instrument preset or by a power cycle.
Adjusting the Screen Saver
You can increase the life expectancy of the signal generator’s display light by
turning on the screen saver. Leaving the display lit for long periods of time or
turning the display on and off frequently decreases the life of the bulb. With the
screen saver on, the display light is turned off after a defined period of time with
no input to the front panel. The display light turns on again when any front panel
key is pressed or when a remote command is sent.
