Cleaning

WARNING. To avoid personal injury, power down the instrument and disconnect it from line voltage before performing

any of the following procedures.

Inspect the arbitrary waveform generator as often as operating conditions require. To clean the exterior surface, perform the following steps:

1. Remove loose dust on the outside of the instrument with a lint-free cloth. Use care to avoid scratching the front panel display.

2. Use a soft cloth dampened with water to clean the instrument. Use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution as a cleaner.

CAUTION. To avoid damage to the surface of the arbitrary waveform generator, do not use any abrasive or chemical

cleaning agents.

Windows Interface Guidelines

Because the instrument uses the Microsoft Windows interface, you have open access to the Windows operating system. You can access the Windows desktop to load and run other Windows-based applications such as Microsoft Excel, WordPad, and Paint.

Follow these guidelines to avoid making operating system changes that might cause problems or annoyances while trying to use the instrument:

Be careful when making changes in the Control Panel. Avoid making changes to any controls with which you are unfamiliar.

Do not delete or change any system fonts; this can affect the quality of the display.

Do not change the system Display Properties, such as the Background, Appearance, Effects, or S ettings. Making such changes can affect the usability of the instrument and the touch screen.

Do not change the contents of the Windows folder or the Program Files\Tektronix\AWG\ System folder.

Do not change the BIOS settings; this can affect the overall operation of the instrument.

If you think that your Windows interface might cause problems with the instrument, contact your local Tektronix support center for assistance.

Connecting to a Network

You can connect your instrument to a network for printing, ﬁle sharing, Internet access, and other functions. Consult with your network GPIB or LAN conﬁguration, use the GPIB/LAN Conﬁguration dialog box from System menu.

Controlling the Instrument Using a Remote PC

You can use your PC to control the arbitrary waveform generator through a LAN using the Windows Remote Desktop function. If your PC has a larger screen, you can edit waveforms easily using your keyboard and mouse. You can also use a third party software installed on your PC to create a waveform and import it through a network.

Ofﬂine Mode

The Ofﬂine Mode is a function that you can use to run the instrument application on your PC. Install the application on your PC; the instrument hardware is not required. You can create and edit the instrument setups. The setup ﬁles that you create can be used la

Inspecting Your Instrument

Two types of diagnostics are provided to verify the functionality of your instrument:

Power-on self test – Every time you power on the instrument, the instrument automatically performs the internal diagnostics.

Diagnostics from the System menu – You can also run the internal diagnostics using the System menu. Use the following procedures:

1. Select System > Diagnostics... from

the menu bar.

The Diagnostics dialog box appears.

Installing Your

Instrument

2. Conﬁrm that the Loop box is not

checked.

If Loop is checked, the diagnostics runs until it is manually stopped.

3. If you click Select All, all diagnostic

items are checked.

You can execute all items together or you can execute only the selected item(s).

4. Click Execute to start the diagnostics.

Verify that the instrument passes all tests. If diagnostic failures occur, contact your local Tektronix service personnel.

AWG5000B and AWG7000B Series Quick Start User Manual 7

Installing Your

Instrument

Self Calibration

The self calibration uses internal calibration routines that check electrical characteristics such as analog level and marker level, and then adjust the internal calibration constants as necessary. Marker level is checked only in the AWG7000 series instruments.

Run Mode

The arbitrary waveform generator supports the following four types of Run mode:

Continuous. A continuous waveform is output.

Triggered. A waveform is output once when the instrument receives a trigger signal. The instrument will wait for the next

trigger signal after outputting the waveform.

Gated. A waveform is output only when a gate signal is asserted. A c ontinuous waveform is output while the gate

signal stays asserted.

Sequence. Multiple waveforms can be output in the order speciﬁed in the sequence.

You can select a run mode using the Run Mode page of Settings window.

1. Select a Run mode.

2. In the Triggered or Gated mode, you

can select the output value while the instrument is in the waiting-for-trigger state.

Quick Tips

The S ampling Rate can be set when the internal clock source is selected and one of the following conditions is met:

Internal is selected as the reference source.

External is selected as the reference source and Fixed is selected as the external reference type.

The arbitrary waveform generator accepts a 10 MHz, 20 MHz, or 100 MHz frequency signal as a Fixed external reference source.

Sequence

It is sometimes necessary to create long waveform ﬁles to fully implement a DUT test. Where portions of the waveforms are repeated, a waveform sequencing function can save you a lot of memory-intensive waveform programming.

Sequence is used for mainly the following two purposes:

Output longer waveform than hardware m emory

Change the output waveform quickly (such as ATE applications)

NOTE. Wait Trigger is set to On in an instrument without option 08. To set Wait Trigger Off, option 08 must be installed in

the instrument.

Sequence

Creating a Sequence

To create a sequence, waveforms must be assigned to Sequence w indow. The following example shows basic steps to create a sequence.

1. Select a waveform in the Waveform List window.

2. Drag and drop the waveform to a sequence window cell.

As a quick access to the waveform list, you can double-click or right-click on a cell.

3. After assigning waveforms to sequence cells, you can deﬁne the sequence parameters.

Right-click on a c ell, or use the Edit menu to open the Sequence Control Parameters dialog box.

4. The sequencer will wait for the trigger before generating a waveform if Wait

Trigger is checked.

5. A waveform can be repeated if the Repeat Count is speciﬁed for each

element of the sequence.

6. Event Jump To changes the sequencing of the waveform by the external event.

See the Quick Tips below for supported event signals.

7. If you specify Go To target for each sequence element, the sequencer jumps to the element speciﬁed by Go To target immediately after generating the waveform speciﬁed in a sequence element.

Quick Tips

You can use the Standard Waveform dialog box to create a waveform and set the waveform to Sequence window.

When importing waveform data, you can directly set the waveform to Sequence window.

If Sequence is selected in the Run mode, the sequencer executes the sequence deﬁnition. Sequence deﬁnition consists of a series of sequence elements. Each sequence element has the following information:

References to the waveform for each channel

Force Jump To

Force Jump allows you to jump to a position that you choose while the instrument is outputting a sequence.

Select System > Force Jump To... to open the Force Jump To dialog box.

1. Specify a jump target or select Index No.

2. When Index No is selected as jump

target, enter the index number using the Value: ﬁeld.

3. Click Jump Now to change the w aveform

Quick Tips

The arbitrary waveform generator has an Event Jump function which changes the sequence using an event signal. Use the Event page of the Settings window to set parameters for Event Jump.

Sequence

Force Jump is similar to Event Jump. In the case of Force Jump, you must specify the jump target explicitly by using the ForceJumpTodialogbox.

Force Jump is independent from Event Jump. Force Jump can be executed regardless of the Event Jump setting.
