3.4 Initialization

The steps shown here will initialize SGX1000 series RF signal generators and prepare them for normal
operations. Step 2 should only be performed when you wish to set the instrument operations to a
known state. This is typically done when you first power on the instrument or at the start of a new test.
STEP PROCEDURE
1. If the main power is off, press the power switch located on the rear panel. See Figure 3-2. Press
the On/Standby key. See Figure 3-1. After a self-check, the instrument will execute the
application program. There will be a momentary dialog indicating application initialization. After
the dialog the main screen will be on the display.
2. Use the ◄, ►, ▲, ▼, and ⚫ keys to navigate to and select or touch the
menus. From the Main menu, select Preset. This will load the default operating parameters
listed in Table 3-3. This table only shows the parameters that are affected by initialization.
