Display

ENVLP

This annunciator appears if the burst envelope modulation is

 

turned on. This annunciator is present only on ESG-D and ESG-DP

 

Series Signal Generators.

 

ERR

This annunciator appears when an error message is placed in the

 

error queue. This annunciator will not turn off until you have either

 

viewed all of the error messages or cleared the error queue. You can

 

view and delete error messages using the Utility menu.

EXT1 LO/HI

This annunciator toggles between EXT1 LO and EXT1 HI. This

 

annunciator appears if the AC-coupled signal to the EXT 1 input is

 

less than 0.97 Vpk or greater than 1.03 Vpk.

 

EXT2 LO/HI

This annunciator toggles between EXT2 LO and EXT2 HI. This

 

annunciator appears if the AC-coupled signal to the EXT 2 input is

 

less than 0.97 Vpk or greater than 1.03 Vpk.

 

EXT REF

This annunciator appears when an external 1, 2, 5, or 10 MHz

 

frequency reference is in use.

 

FM

This annunciator appears when frequency modulation is turned on.

I/Q

This annunciator appears when I/Q modulation is turned on. This

 

annunciator is present only on ESG-D and ESG-DP Series Signal

 

Generators.

 

L

The L annunciator is turned on when the signal generator is in the

 

listen mode and is receiving information or commands over the

 

GPIB or RS-232.

 

MOD OFF

This annunciator toggles between MOD OFF and MOD ON and is

 

always visible in the display. This annunciator indicates whether

 

the modulations that you have enabled are modulating the RF

 

carrier.

 

OVEN COLD

This annunciator appears when the temperature of the internal

 

ovenized reference oscillator (ESG-AP, ESG-DP, and Option 1E5)

 

has dropped below an acceptable level.

 

PULSE

This annunciator appears when pulse modulation is turned on.

R

The R annunciator appears when the signal generator is in remote

 

GPIB operation.
