GENERAL OPERATING
INFORMATION
The
following
paragraphs
contain general information
on
the
operation of
the
Generator. This
includes
all
the
information required
to familiarize the
you
with
the
instrument
and
the differences
between
local
and remote
operation.
2-9.
Familiarization
Figure
2-3
shows
the front
panel
controls, indicator,
and
connectors
and
Table
2-1
describes the
features.
Figure
2-4
shows
the rear
panel
controls,
connectors,
and
switches
and
Table
2-2
describes the
features.

Local Veraes
Remote
Operation
There
are
two
modes
of controlling the output of the Generator.
One mode
uses the keys
on
the front panel;
this
is
called local
operation.
The
other
mode
is
available
when
the
IEEE488
Interface
option has
been
installed,
and an IEEE-488
controller
is
used
to
control the Generator.
This
is
referred to as
remote
operation.
An
overview
of
local
control
is
presented
first.
The
next heading, Operating Reference
Material,
is
divided
into
two
parts.
The
first
part covers
local
and
remote
control operations that
have
similar
entry
methods.
The
second
part,
Remote
Operation, contains information
on
commands
or descriptions
that pertain
only
to
remote
operations.

Power-On Sequence
When
the
Generator
is
turned
on,
a
power-on
sequence
is
started.
During
the
power-on
sequence, the
microprocessor
tests
the
analog
circuitry,
the
program
ROM,
the scratch-
pad
RAM,
and
the front
panel
displays.
The
front
panel
displays are tested
by
lighting
all
segments
for
a
brief
period
at
the
same
time the
rest
of
the
self tests
are
performed.
If
any
of the
self tests
fail,
an
error
code
is
displayed.
If
the
operator
initiates
any
front
panel entry before the
power-on
sequence
is
completed,
the
self test
is
aborted,
and
the
Generator
is
set
to the
state
it
was
in
when
turned
off.
In
addition, the
RF
output
is
turned
on.
Table
2-3
lists
the
Instrument
Preset
State.
Power-on
instrument
settings
that
relate
to the optional
IEEE-488
Interface are
described
in the
Remote
Operation paragraphs
in
this
section.
2-12.
Changing Output
Parameters
The
four
parameters of
the
Generator
(i.e.,
frequency, amplitude,
amplitude modulation
(AM),
and
frequency
modulation
(FM))
may
be changed by
one
of
three
methods:
FUNCTION-DATA-UNIT
Bright-Digit Edit
Step Entry
These
different
methods
all
accomplish
the
same
result
but use
different
approaches.
The
reason
for
this
apparent
redundancy
is
to
reduce
the
chance
of error during
complex
test
procedures
that require
continuously
resetting
parameters or
in
those cases
when
a
test
is
partly
under remote
control
and
only
some
of
the
parameters
require changes.
