H Repackaging procedure for shipment Product Description The DG2040 Data Generator is a programmable data generator with a 2-channel data output pattern memory. It accommodates a 4k-step sequence controller, which enables the generation of data patterns longer than the pattern memory and also the dynamic change of the patterns due to the external events.
Initial Inspection Inspect the DG2040 Data Generator shipping carton for external damage. Remove the DG2040 Data Generator from its package and check that it has not been damaged in transit. Verify that the carton contains the basic instrument and its standard accessories. Refer to Accessories on page 1-5.
