SDG1000 Service Manual 9
Prepare the Generator for Use
1. Check the list of accessories
Accessories supplied with the instrument are listed below. If anything is
missing or damaged, please contact your nearest SIGLENT Sales Office.
• A Quick Start
• A Certification
• A Guaranty Card
• A CD(EasyWave software, DataSheet and Manual)
• A power cord that fits the standard of destination country
• A USB cable
2. Connect the power cord and turn on the generator
The instrument runs a short power-on self test, which takes a few seconds.
The generator powers up in the sine wave function at 1 kHz with an amplitude
of 4Vpeak-to-peak (Channel 1). At power-on, the Output connector is disabled.
To enable the Output connector, press the Output key.
If the generator does not turn on, verify that the power cord is firmly connected
to the power socket on the rear panel (the power-line voltage is automatically
sensed at power-on). You should also make sure that the generator is
connected to a power source that is energized.
Then, verify that the generator is turned on.
Note: If the power-on self test fails, some error messages are displayed along
with black screen. See Chapter 6 for information on self-test error codes, and
for instructions on returning the generator to SIGLENT for service.
