38 SDG1000 Service Manual
Troubleshooting
The internal structure of the generator consists of main board, power supply
board and keypad circuit board, and they are linked through cables or
connectors. This chapter explains the main checking procedures for main
board and power supply by measuring the pointed test points on them to help
you decide the reason for the failure you encounter while operating SDG1000
series arbitrary waveform generator.
ESD Precautions
While performing any internal testing of the generator, please refer to the
following precautions to avoid damages to internal modules or components
result from ESD.
⚫ Touch circuit boards by the edges as possible as you can.
⚫ Reduce handling of static-sensitive modules when necessary .
⚫ Wear a grounded antistatic wrist strap to insulate the static voltage from
your body while touching these modules.
⚫ Operate static-sensitive modules only at static-free areas. Avoid handling
modules in areas that allow anything capable of generating or holding a
static charge.
