Quick Start
One of the first things you will want to do with your function generator is to become acquainted with its front panel. We have written the exercises in this chapter to prepare the function generator for use and help you get familiar with some of the front-panel operations.
The front panel has two rows of keys to select various functions and operations. Most keys have a shifted function printed in blue above the key. To perform a shifted function, press turn on). Then, press the key that has the desired label above it. For example, to select the

Most keys also have a number printed in green next to the key. To enable the number mode, press
Enter Number (the Num annunciator will turn on).
Then, press the keys that have the desired numbers printed next to them. For example, to select the number “10”, press (next to the

If the function generator does not turn on
If the function generator does not turn on
Use the following steps to help solve problems you might experience when turning on the function generator. If you need more help, see chapter 6 for instructions on returning the function generator to Agilent for service.
1 Verify that there is ac power to the function generator.
First, verify that the function generator’s Power switch is in the “On” position. Also, make sure that the power cord is firmly plugged into to the power module on the rear panel. You should also make sure that the power source you plugged the function generator into is energized.
2 Verify the power-line voltage setting.
The line voltage is set to the proper value for your country when the function generator is shipped from the factory. Change the voltage setting if it is not correct. The settings are: 100, 120, 220, or 240 Vac (for 230 Vac operation, use the 220 Vac setting).
See the next page if you need to change the line-voltage setting.
3 Verify that the power-line fuse is good.
The function generator is shipped from the factory with a 500 mAT fuse installed. This is the correct fuse for all line voltages.
See the next page if you need to change the power-line fuse.
To replace the 500 mAT fuse, order Agilent part number 2110-0458.
