Introduction
This chapter provides a comprehensive introduction of all of the external features and
functions on the Instrument, followed by instructions for operating the Instrument. The
introduction identifies each of the front- and rear-panel controls, connectors, and
indicators (including screens), and describes the intended use for each. Each feature
description is complete enough to allow the user to begin interacting with the controls
and to perform basic but practical operations on the Leveled Sine screen. For this reason,
many of the basic operations, such as editing data on a screen, are not repeated in the
operation instructions.
Operating Instructions at the end of this chapter are reserved for the following:
•
•
•
•
Initial setup
Making external hardware connections
Using features that are not obvious on the front and rear panel
Using the Instrument to create its intended RF Output: sine, modulated, and swept
signals.
Controls, Indicators, and Connectors
The front panel of the Instrument is shown in Figure 3-1. Each feature is identified with a
name and graphical grouping. The same name and graphic introduce the section and
paragraph(s) containing the description of the feature.
