verify such things as internal device communications, system memory, and real-time clock.
■
Full diagnostics: Provides access to all diagnostic self tests the instrument is able to run.
5. Select and deselect each test individually or use the Select all tests and Unselect all tests buttons.
6. Select the desired Loop function.
■
Single makes one pass through the selected tests.
■
Continuous continually runs through the selected tests until aborted.
■
Times lets you define how many times to run the selected tests.
■
Stop on Fail stops the diagnostics if a selected test fails, regardless of the Loop selection.
7. Click Start to run the diagnostics. The Start button changes to Abort while tests are actively running.
Verify that the instrument passes all tests. If diagnostic failures occur, contact your local Tektronix service personnel.
Self calibration
The self calibration uses internal calibration routines that adjust the internal calibration constants as necessary.
If the instrument detects an internal temperature difference of more than 5 °C from its previous calibration, a message is
displayed in the status area (at the bottom of the screen), recommending a self calibration. You can perform the self calibration at
anytime.
NOTE. Always power on the instrument for at least 20 minutes before performing a self calibration. See Operating requirements
on page 4.
1. Confirm that there is no output signal. The front-panel Play/Stop button indicator is off.

Connecting to the instrument
Connecting to a network
You can connect your instrument to a network for file sharing, printing, Internet access, and other functions. Consult your network
administrator and use the standard Windows utilities to configure the instrument for your network.
8 AWG70000A Series Installation and Safety Instructions
Install the instrument
Connecting peripheral devices
You can connect peripheral devices to your instrument, such as the keyboard and mouse (provided). A mouse and keyboard are
particularly helpful for opening and saving files.
Controlling the instrument using a remote PC
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, it will be easier to see details such as zooming waveforms or making cursor measurements. You can also
use a third party software application (installed on your PC) to create a waveform and import it through a network.
Preventing instrument damage
Overheat protection
The instrument is protected against overheating damage by continuously monitoring the internal temperature. If the internal
temperature exceeds the maximum rated operating range, two actions occur.
■
The instrument shuts down.
■
The Power button flashes red.
NOTE. An indication that the internal temperature is escalating is continual calibration warnings due to temperature change.
If an overheat condition was detected, the power button will continue to flash red, even after the instrument cools (unless power
is disconnected). This is done to indicate that an overheat condition has occurred, regardless of how much time has passed.
Restarting the instrument (or removing and reapplying power) will stop the power button from flashing red. But if the overheat
condition still remains while attempting to restart the instrument, the power button may immediately (or in a short time) start
flashing red again and the instrument will shut down.
Common causes of overheating include:
■
The ambient temperature requirement is not being met.
■
The required cooling clearance is not being met.
■
One or more instrument fans are not working properly.
Connectors
The arbitrary waveform generator has both output and input connectors. Do not apply external voltage to any output connector
and ensure proper restrictions are met for any input connector.
CAUTION. Always turn off the signal outputs when you connect or disconnect cables to/from the signal output connectors. If you
connect a (Device Under Test) DUT while the instrument signal outputs are in the On state, it may cause damage to the
instrument or to the DUT.

Buttons/Keys Description
General purpose knob The general purpose knob is used to increment or decrement values when a setting is enabled (selected) for
change.
Push the knob to toggle the Fine mode on and off, increasing or decreasing the change resolution of the
general purpose knob.
NOTE. The general purpose knob operation mimics the actions of the up and down arrow keys on a
keyboard as defined by the Windows operating system. Because of this, rotating the knob when a desired
control is not selected may result in seemingly odd behavior of the control or accidental changes to some
other control.
Fine The Fine button increases the resolution of the general purpose knob.
Numeric keypad The numeric keypad is used to directly enter a numeric value into a selected control setting.
Units prefix buttons (T/p, G/n, M/μ, and k/m) are used to complete an input with the numeric keypad. You
can complete your entry by pushing one of these prefix buttons (without pressing the Enter key).
If you push the units prefix buttons for frequency, the units are interpreted as T (tera-), G (giga-), M (mega-),
or k (kilo-). If you push the buttons for time or amplitude, the units are interpreted as p (pico-), n (nano-), μ
(micro-), or m (milli-).
Touchscreen Off The Touchscreen Off button enables or disables touchscreen control. When disabled, the button lights.
When the touchscreen is enabled, you can use your finger or the stylus to control all operations of the
instrument from the display. The touchscreen can be used alone or in combination with the mouse and frontpanel controls.
When the touchscreen is disabled, you can still access the on-screen menus with a mouse or keyboard.
NOTE. The stylus must be of the conductive type designed for projected-capacitance screens, such as
commonly used with smart phones and tablets.
NOTE. If the instrument is powered on in Windows Safe Mode, the touchscreen is inoperative. You may
need to use a mouse or keyboard to restore normal operation.
Force Trigger (A or B) The A or B Force Trigger buttons generate a trigger event. This is only effective when the Run mode is set
to Triggered or Triggered Continuous.
All Outputs Off The All Outputs Off button provides a quick disconnect of the Analog, Marker, and Flag outputs, whether
those outputs are enabled or not. (All Outputs Off overrides the output enable controls.)
When activated, the button lights, the outputs are electrically disconnected, and the channel and marker
output front-panel lights are turned off.
When the All Outputs Off is deactivated, the outputs return to their defined state.

Red An error is preventing the waveform play out.
Run mode
The AWG supports the following Run modes:
Continuous. Waveform play out starts when the Play button is pressed, without the need for a trigger event.
Triggered. Waveform play out starts when a proper external trigger event occurs or a Force Trig ( A or B) button is pressed.
Waveform play out stops after one complete waveform cycle.
Waveform play out can not be retriggered until the current waveform play out completes an entire cycle. For two channel
instruments, both waveforms must complete a cycle.
Pressing a Force Trig ( A or B) button has no effect if play out is in process.
Triggered Continuous. Waveform play out starts when a proper external trigger event occurs or a Force Trig (A or B) button is
pressed. Once a trigger event occurs, waveform play out continues until stopped by the user.
