Preface
xvi AWG510 & AWG520 Service Manual
Manual Conventions
This manual uses certain conventions that you should become familiar with.
Some sections of the manual contain procedures for you to perform. To keep
those instructions clear and consistent, this manual uses the following conven-
tions:
Names of front panel controls and menus appear in the same case (initial
capitals, all uppercase, etc.) in the manual as is used on the waveform
generator front panel and menus. Front panel names are all upper-case
letters; for example, SETUP, UTILITY, HARDCOPY etc.
Instruction steps are numbered unless there is only one step.
Throughout this manual, any replaceable component, assembly, or part of the
waveform generator is referred to generically as a module. In general, a module
is an assembly (like a circuit board), rather than a component (like a resistor or
an integrated circuit). Sometimes a single component is a module; for example,
the chassis of the waveform generator is a module.
Symbols and terms related to safety appear in the Safety Summary near the
beginning of this manual.
Finding Other Information
Other documentation for the AWG510 and AWG520 Arbitrary Waveform
Generator includes:
The AWG510 and AWG520 User Manual contains a tutorial to quickly
describe how to operate the waveform generator. It also includes an in-depth
discussion on how to more completely use the waveform generator features.
The AWG500 Series Programmer Manual explains how to use a GPIB
interface to remotely control the waveform generator.
