Preparation for Use

Power￿On Diagnostics The instrument automatically runs power-on self tests to check that the instrument is operating normally.

Check the results of the power-on self tests. If all the diagnostic tests are completed without error, the instrument displays Pass and then the SETUP menu screen.

If the system detects an error, the instrument displays Fail and the error code number on the screen. You can still operate the instrument if you exit this state, but the wave output accuracy is not guaranteed until the error is corrected. To exit the diagnosis mode, push any button. The system goes to the SETUP menu screen.

￿￿TE. Contact your local Tektronix Field Office or representative if the instrument displays an error message. Make sure to record the error code number.

Power Off Power off the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator by toggling the ON/ STBY switch to the STBY position and turning the PRINCIPAL POWER SWITCH on the rear panel to OFF.

W￿￿￿￿￿￿￿ To prevent electrical shock, remove all power from the instrument, turn the PRINCIPAL POWER SWITCH on the back panel to OFF, and disconnect the power cord from the instrument. Some components in the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator are still connected to line voltage after turning off the instrument from the front panel ON/STBY button.

To prevent loss of data and/or damage to the hard disk, before the power off, confirm that the hard disk LED on the lower right of the front panel does not light or blink.
