General Inspection
After you get a new Waveform Generator, it is recommended that you should make a
check on the instrument according to the following steps:
1. Check whether there is any damage caused by transportation.
If it is found that the packaging carton or the foamed plastic protection cushion has
suffered serious damage, do not throw it away first till the complete device and its
accessories succeed in the electrical and mechanical property tests.
2. Check the Accessories
The supplied accessories have been already described in the "Appendix A: Enclosure"
of this Manual. You can check whether there is any loss of accessories with reference
to this description. If it is found that there is any accessory lost or damaged, please
get in touch with the distributor of Lilliput responsible for this service or the Lilliput's
local offices.
3. Check the Complete Instrument
If it is found that there is damage to the appearance of the instrument, or the
instrument can not work normally, or fails in the performance test, please get in
touch with the Lilliput's distributor responsible for this business or the Lilliput's local
offices. If there is damage to the instrument caused by the transportation, please
keep the package. With the transportation department or the Lilliput's distributor
responsible for this business informed about it, a repairing or replacement of the
instrument will be arranged by the Lilliput.
Foot Stool Adjustment
Unfold the foot stools on the bottom of the generator, as ⑪ in Figure 4-1.
Power-On Check
AC Power Input Setting
Adopt 110V/220V AC power source. Users should regulate the voltage scale of the Power
Switch according to the standards in their own country (see Figure 4-2) at the rear panel
and use an appropriate fuse.
Voltage Fuse
To change the voltage scale of the instrument, do the following steps:
