Install the instrument Operating requirements Cooling 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.
Install the instrument CAUTION. To avoid damage to the surface of the instrument, do not use any abrasive or chemical cleaning agents. Use extreme care when cleaning the surface of the display. The display is easily scratched if excessive force is used. Remove loose dust on the outside the instrument with a lint-free cloth.
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.
Stop on Fail stops the diagnostics if a selected test fails, regardless of the Loop selection. 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 to the instrument Connecting to a network You can connect your instrument to a network for file sharing, printing, Internet access, and other functions. Consult your network administrator and use the standard Windows utilities to configure the instrument for your network. Connecting peripheral devices You can connect peripheral devices to your instrument, such as the keyboard and mouse (provided).
AWG. If you purchase an upgrade or plug-in after you've received your instrument, you may need to install a license key to activate the feature. Use the Install Licenses dialog box to enable the upgrades that you purchased from Tektronix for your instrument.
Install a new license Before starting this procedure, place the new license key (received from Tektronix) in a location you can access from the instrument. This can be anywhere on the instrument's C: drive or available networks. You can also use a USB flash drive to store your license.
■ Do not change the contents of the Windows folder or the Program Files\Tektronix\AWG70000\ folder. ■ Do not change the BIOS settings; this can affect the overall operation of the instrument.
