Preface
Manual Conventions
Throughout this manual you will notice the use of certain conventions. Some sections of the manual contain procedures for you to perform. To keep those instructions clear and consistent, this manual uses the following conventions:
Names of front panel controls and menus appear in the same case (such as initial capitals or all uppercase) in the manual as is used on the waveform generator front panel and menus. Front panel names are all uppercase letters; for example, SETUP, UTILITY, HARDCOPY.
Instruction steps are numbered unless there is only one step.
Modules Throughout this manual, any replaceable component, assembly, or part of the waveform generator is referred to generically as a module. A module is an assembly (such as a circuit board), as opposed to a component (such as a resistor or integrated circuit). Sometimes a single component is a module; for example, the chassis of the waveform generator.
Safety Symbols and terms related to safety appear in the Safety Summary at the front of this manual.
Finding Other Information
Other documentation for the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator includes:
The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator user manual contains a tutorial that describes how to operate the waveform generator. It also includes a detailed explanation of how to best use the waveform generator features.
The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator Programmer manual explains how to use a GPIB interface to control the waveform generator remotely.
