Install the instrument Operating requirements Place the instrument on a cart or bench, observing clearance requirements: Top and bottom: 0 cm (0 in) ■ Left and right side: 5.08 cm (2 in) ■ Rear: 0 cm (0 in) ■ CAUTION. To ensure proper cooling, keep sides of the instrument clear of obstructions. Environmental requirements The environmental requirements for your instrument are listed in the following table.
Install the instrument Power on the instrument Connect the AC power cord to the rear of the instrument. Use the front-panel power button to switch the instrument on. The power button indicates four instrument power states: ■ No light – no power applied ■...
Install the instrument Power off the instrument Press the front-panel power button to shut down the instrument. The shutdown process takes approximately 30 seconds to complete, placing the instrument in standby mode. Alternatively, use the Windows Shutdown menu. NOTE. You can force an immediate shutdown by pressing and holding the power button for four seconds. Unsaved data is lost.
■ Click Start to run the diagnostics. The Start button changes to Abort while tests are actively running. Verify that the instrument passes all tests. If diagnostic failures occur, contact your local Tektronix service personnel. Self calibration The self calibration uses internal calibration routines that adjust the internal calibration constants as necessary.
Click Start. The Start button changes to Abort once the calibration has started. Clicking Abort stops the calibration process and restores all values to their previous state. All calibration items should indicate Pass. If not, contact your local Tektronix service personnel.
Install the instrument Connecting peripheral devices You can connect peripheral devices to your instrument, such as the keyboard and mouse (provided). A mouse and keyboard are particularly helpful for opening and saving files. Controlling the instrument using a remote PC Use your PC to control the arbitrary waveform generator through a LAN using the Windows Remote Desktop function.
Options purchased with your instrument are pre-installed. You can view installed options by going to Utilities > About my AWG. If you purchase an upgrade (new option) from Tektronix for your instrument, you may need to install an option key to activate the new option.
Click Continue from the Install Upgrades introduction screen. Enter the option key provided by Tektronix, and follow the on-screen instructions to install the option. NOTE. Some upgrades may require updating the product software. Refer to the instructions provided with your upgrade for proper installation.
