There are three types of checks used to determine if the signal generator is operating properly. Power-on Inspection The normal operating voltage for SSG3000X series signal generators is in the range of 100-240 VRMS, 50 Hz/ 60 Hz/ 440 Hz. Please use the power cord provided with the accessories to connect the instrument to the power source as shown in the figure below.
Figure 1-2 Front Panel Figure 1-3 Rear Panel Interface Test The SSG3000X series signal generator is designed with three standard interfaces: USB Host, USB Device, and LAN. Being connected to other instruments via these interfaces enables the signal generator to achieve additional capabilities.
