Getting Started
AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual 1-13
The instrument automatically runs power-on self tests to check that the instru-
ment 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 displays 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.
. Contact your local Tektronix Field Office or representative if the
instrument displays an error message. Make sure to record the error code
number.
To power off the AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator, push the ON/STBY
switch on the front panel.
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
AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator are still connected to line voltage after
turning off the instrument from the front-panel ON/STBY button.
