Operating the Instrument

This section of the manual contains operating instructions for the Instrument. Before
using these instructions, read the descriptions of the controls, indicators, and connectors
provided earlier in this chapter. These descriptions are sufficient to familiarize the user
with most of the general processes for operating the Instrument. These earlier
descriptions provide all of the information necessary to access, edit, and interpret general
screen information.

Before Starting

Before proceeding with the instructions in this section, complete the following procedure:
1. Prepare the Instrument for operation. See Chapter 2.
2. Learn the function of and how to use each of the controls, indicators, and connectors
described earlier in this chapter.
3. Account for any rear-panel connections that may be required.
4. Set the power switch to on and set the Instrument to Standby (press ).
Approximately 4 seconds after switching on power, the Instrument runs a self-test.
Details of the power-on self test are given earlier in Chapter 2.
