Quick Start

One of the first things you will want to do with your function generator is

to become acquainted with its front panel. We have written the exercises

in this chapter to prepare the function generator for use and help you get

familiar with some of the front-panel operations.

The front panel has two rows of keys to select various functions and

operations. Most keys have a shifted function printed in blue above the

key. To perform a shifted function, press

Shift (the Shift annunciator will

turn on). Then, press the key that has the desired label above it. For

example, to select the

AM (amplitude modulation) function, press

Shift AM (the shifted version of the key).

If you accidentally press

Shift , just press it again to turn off the Shift

annunciator.

Most keys also have a number printed in green next to the key. To enable

the number mode, press

Enter Number (the Num annunciator will turn on).

Then, press the keys that have the desired numbers printed next to them.

For example, to select the number “10”, press

Enter Number 1 0

(next to the

and Recall keys).

If you accidentally press

Enter Number , just press Shift Cancel to turn

off the

Num annunciator.
