Preventing Instrument Damage
Overheat Protection
The internal instrument temperature is monitored and the instrument is protected against overheating damage by the
following actions:
A warning message will appear if the internal temperature reaches the first threshold level.
The instrument will shut down if its temperature reaches the second threshold level.
If the warning message appears or the instrument shuts down, check for the following conditions. (See page 2, Operating
Requiremen
ts.)
The ambient
temperature requirement is not being met.
The requir
ed cooling c learance is not being met.
The instru
ment fan is not working properly.
Output Connectors
The arbitrary waveform generator has both output and input connectors on the front panel. D o not apply external voltage
to the output connectors.
CAUTION. Always turn off the signal outputs when you connect or disconnect cables to/from the signal outputs connectors.
If you connect a DUT while the instrument signal outputs are in the On state, it may cause damage to the instrument or DUT.
