Preparing for Use
Installing the Signal Generator
The screen saver is set to off at the factory. You can turn it on by pressing Utility,
Display, Screen Saver Off On. Each time you press Screen Saver Off On the
selection toggles between
Off and On.
You can adjust the screen saver mode to turn the light on and off or to turn both
the light and text on and off. Press
Utility, Display, Screen Saver Mode. You can
toggle between
Light Only and Light&Text. Setting the mode to Light Only turns the
display light off but leaves the text visible at a low intensity. To prevent the text
from burning the display if you are leaving the display unchanged for long periods
of time, set the mode to
Light&Text. This mode turns off the display light and the
text.
The screen saver delay is set to 1 hour at the factory. You can view and change the
delay by pressing
Screen Saver Delay in the same menu. The current screen saver
delay is displayed in the softkey label and also in the active entry area. To change
the delay, enter a new value using the numeric keypad and then press
Enter, or
rotate the front panel knob. The acceptable range of delay values is 1 through 12
hours in 1 hour increments.
The screen saver settings do not change when
Preset is pressed, nor when power
to the instrument is cycled.
Selecting the Signal Generator’s HP-IB Address
The signal generator’s HP-IB address is set to 19 at the factory. You can view and
change the address by pressing
Utility, HP-IB/RS-232, HP-IB Address. The current
HP-IB address is displayed in the softkey label and also in the active entry area.
To change the address, enter a new value using the numeric keypad and then press
Enter, or rotate the front panel knob. The acceptable range of addresses is 0
through 30.
The HP-IB address is a persistent state; it is not affected by an instrument preset or
by a power cycle.
