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 an
ything is missing, please contact your nearest Keysight Sales Office.
• Power cord (for country of destination).
• Certificate of Calibration.
•
Keysight 33210A Product Refere
nce CD (product software,
programming
ex
amples, and manuals).
•
Keysight Automation-Ready CD (Keysight IO Libraries Suite).
• USB 2.0 cable.
Note: All of the 33210A product documentation is provided on the Keysight
33210A Product Reference CD that comes with the product, and is also
available
on the Web at www.keysight.com/find/33210A. Printed
(hardcopy) manuals are available as an extra cost option.
2 Connect the power cord and turn on the function generator.
The instrument runs a short power-on self test, which takes a few
seconds. When the instrument is ready for use it displays a message
about how to obtain help, along with the current GPIB address. 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 the power-on self test fails, “Self-Test Failed” is displayed along with an
error code.
See Chapter 6 for information on self-test error codes, and
for
instructions on returning the function generator to Keysight for service.
