Power On
Power On
When power is first applied to the DS360 the unit will display its serial number and
ROM version. Next the DS360 will initiate a series of self-tests of the internal circuitry
and stored data. The test should take about 3 seconds and end with the message " T EST
PASS" . If the self-test fails the DS360 will display an error message indicating the
nature of the fault (see the TROUBLESHOOTING section at the end of this chapter for
more details). The unit will attempt to operate normally after a self test failure; press any
key to clear the error message.
Caution
This instrument may be damaged if operated with the LINE VOLTAGE SELECTOR set
for the wrong AC line voltage or if the wrong fuse is installed.
Reset
Turn the power on while holding down the [CLR] key and continue to hold it down for at
least 1 second to reset the unit. The unit will perform its self-tests and assume its default
settings.
Attention
The DS360 has two distinct modes: analog and digital. These are selected as described in
the output configuration section. When the unit is in one mode (digital or analog),
parameters of the other mode cannot be selected or quarried from either the front panel
or the computer interface. This chapter describes the operation of the analog mode; for
information on the digital mode, see Chapter 5.
