AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual 1-15
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 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 waveform 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.
Power Off
To power off the AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator, push the
ON/STBY switch on the front panel.
NOTE. Contact your local Tektronix Field Office or representative if the instrument
displays an error message. Be sure to record the error code number.
WARNING. 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&AWG710B
Arbitrary Waveform Generator are still connected to line voltage after turning off
the instrument from the front–panel ON/STBY button.
CAUTION. To prevent loss of data and/or damage to the hard drive, before the
power off, be sure to confirm the LED of hard drive at the lower right of the front
panel dose not light or blink.
