Check Signal Generator Functionality

Check Signal Generator Functionality

Use the following procedure to confirm that the signal generator powers up and that the internal check identifies no errors. The internal check evaluates the operation of the signal generator and returns an error message if it detects a problem.

NOTE

The signal generator must warm up for at least five minutes and all errors must be cleared from the error

 

queue before a firmware upgrade can be successfully completed.

 

If errors exist in the error queue and a firmware upgrade is attempted, the firmware upgrade will be

 

unsuccessful; new DSP code cannot be upgraded until the error queue has been cleared.

 

When signal generators with Option 1E5 are first connected to ac line power, the error message

 

ERROR 514, Reference Oven Cold occurs, causing both the OVEN COLD annunciator and the ERR

 

annunciator to turn on.

 

After approximately five minutes, the OVEN COLD annunciator automatically clears, but the ERR

 

annunciator remains on until all errors are cleared from the error queue.

 

 

To check signal generator functionality

1.Turn on power to the signal generator and let it warm up for at least five minutes.

2.Cycle power on the signal generator. The green LED should light and the signal generator should perform a functionality check.

3.When the display lights, check to see if the ERR annunciator is on.

If the ERR annunciator is on, review the error messages in the error queue by pressing

Utility > Error Info > View Next Error Message. The first error message in the error queue appears in the display text area. (Refer to the signal generator error messages list on the documentation CD for information about each error message.)

After resolving all problems causing errors, press Clear Error Queue(s).

If the ERR annunciator is off, the signal generator functionality check has passed.
