Functional Check
The functional check tests the installed module to verify that it is operating
properly. Once the VX4792 Arbitrary Waveform Generator is installed into a
VXIbus mainframe with an operating computer interface, no additional test
equipment is needed to perform the functional check.
This functional check will not verify that the waveform generator is operating
within warranted limits. If a more detailed test is required, you may perform the
Performance Verification procedure found in Appendix F.
Initial Setup
Install the waveform generator into a VXIbus mainframe. Refer to Configuration
and Installation on page 1–3 for instructions. The following Functional Check
Procedure may be performed as soon as the waveform generator completes the
power-on diagnostics.
Functional Check Procedure
. This procedure assumes that you are able to communicate with your
system using standard talker/listener software for IBM PC- or UNIX-compatible
computers with GPIB or other proprietary configurations, or embedded
controllers.
1. On the VXIbus mainframe, connect AC power and set the POWER switch to
the ON position.
2. Approximately 60 seconds after the power is turned on, verify that only the
green POWER indicator is lit.
The waveform generator performs self-calibration and diagnostics at
power-on. During this time the POWER indicator blinks on and off.
3. To check the instrument identification with the query, type the
following command:
## $%#"
The waveform generator should respond to the query as follows:
#!'# &
