The internal check evaluates the correctness of operation and returns an error message if a problem is detected.
  • Page 17 Initial Troubleshooting and Overall Block Diagram Initial Troubleshooting Step 3: Functional Check the Front Panel Keys and Display 1. Press various front panel hardkeys and softkeys to verify they function as expected. 2. Use the contrast keys to verify that the display can be lightened and darkened. Refer to Figure 1-2. Figure 1-2.
  • Page 18 Initial Troubleshooting and Overall Block Diagram Initial Troubleshooting Step 4: Visually Check the Individual Voltage Supplies 1. Unplug the signal generator and remove the instrument cover. Refer to Chapter 4, "Assembly Replacement," for removal instructions. 2. Expose the motherboard by removing the top cover. It is secured by 11 screws. 3.
  • Page 19 Initial Troubleshooting and Overall Block Diagram Initial Troubleshooting Step 5: Measure the Individual Voltage Supplies The voltages supplied as inputs from the power supply via J6 to the motherboard are +15V (TP502), +15V  standby (+15_STBY), 15 V (TP503), +12V (TP505), and +5.2V (TP302). DGND (TP301) is associated with these supplies.
