Quick Start
One of the first things you will want to do with your function generator is
to become acquainted with its front panel. We have written the exercises
in this chapter to prepare the function generator for use and help you get
familiar with some of the front-panel operations.
The front panel has two rows of keys to select various functions and
operations. Most keys have a shifted function printed in blue above the
key. To perform a shifted function, press Shift (the Shift annunciator will
turn on). Then, press the key that has the desired label above it. For
example, to select the AM (amplitude modulation) function, press
Shift AM (the shifted version of the key).
If you accidentally press S hift , just press it again to turn off the Shift
annunciator.
Most keys also have a number printed in green next to the key. To enable
the number mode, press Enter Number (the Num annunciator will turn on).
Then, press the keys that have the desired numbers printed next to them.
For example, to select the number “10”, press Enter Number 1 0
(next to the and Recall keys).
If you accidentally press E nter Number , just press Shift Cancel to turn
off the Num annunciator.
