Quick Start
General Inspection
When you get a new function/arbitrary waveform generator, you are advised to inspect the instrument according to the following steps.
Inspect Whether Damage is Caused by Transportation
If the packaging box or foamed plastic supplementary mat is seriously damaged, please contact with dealer of the product or local office.
If the instrument is damaged during transportation, please keep the package, and notify transportation department and dealer of the product, who will arrange repair or replacement.
Inspect Accessories
UTG4000A accessories include power line (applicable to the destination country/region), a USB data transmission line, two BNC cables (1m), a user CD and a product warranty card.
In case of lack or damage of accessories, please contact with dealer of the product or local office.
Inspect Complete Machine
If appearance of the instrument is damaged, the instrument runs abnormally or fails to pass performance test, please contact with dealer of the product or local office.
Introduction of Panels and Keys
Front Panel
Function/arbitrary waveform generator of UTG4000A series provides users with simple and intuitive front panel that is easy to operate, which is shown in figure 2-1 below:
Function Interface
Function interface is shown in Figure 2-2:
Back Pane
1 Output Basic Waveform
2.3.2 Set Output Frequency
The default configuration of waveform is a sine wave with frequency of 1kHz and peak-to-peak amplitude of 100mV (terminating at 50Ω) when powering on. One example for changing frequency into 2.5MHz are as follows:
1. Press function key F1, when outline border in the display area is the color of corresponding channel, and “Freq” character is white, “Period” tag is gray. If the current frequency value is valid, the same frequency is used. Please press function key F1 again to change to the set waveform period, when “Freq” character turns gray, “Period” character is highlighted, and frequency and period can be switched.
Set Output Amplitude
The default configuration of waveform is a sine wave with peak-to-peak amplitude of 100mV (terminating at 50Ω) when powering on. The specific steps for changing amplitude into 300mVpp are as follows:
1. Press function key F2, when outline border of corresponding part in the display area is the color of corresponding channel, and character “Amp” is white, tag “High” is gray. If the current amplitude value is valid when changing amplitude, the same amplitude is used. Press function key F2 again to quickly switch between units Vpp, Vrms, and dBm.
2. Input requires amplitude value 300 with numeric keyboard.
3. Select required unit
Press soft key of corresponding unit. The waveform generator outputs waveform with the displayed amplitude when you select unit (if output has been used). Press mVpp in this example.
Note: this parameter can also be set with multi-functional knob and direction keys.
Set DC Offset Voltage
The default configuration of waveform is a sine wave with DC offset voltage of 0V (terminating at 50Ω) when powering on. The specific steps for changing DC offset voltage into -150mV are as follows:
1. Press function key F3, when outline border of corresponding part in the display area is the color of corresponding channel. If the current DC offset value is valid when changing DC offset, the same DC offset value is used. Press function key F3 again and you will find that the waveform of parameter described with amplitude and DC offset has been described with high level (maximum value) and low level (minimum value). Such method for setting signal limit is very convenient for digital application.
2. Input required DC offset value -150mV with numeric keyboard
3. Select required unit
Press soft key of corresponding unit. The waveform generator outputs waveform with the displayed DC offset when you select unit (if output has been used). Press mV in this example.
Note: this parameter can also be set with multi-functional knob and direction key.
Fault Handling
Possible faults in use of UTG4000A and troubleshooting methods are listed below. If these faults occur, please handle them according to corresponding steps. If they cannot be handled, please contact with the dealer or local office, and provide the information about your machine (method: press Utility and System successively).
No Display on Screen (Blank Screen)
If the signal generator still does not display after pressing power switch on front panel
1) Inspect whether power source is connected well.
2) Inspect whether power switch on back panel is connected well at “I”.
3) Whether power switch on front panel is connected well.
4) Restart the instrument.
5) If the product still cannot be used normally, please contact with the dealer or local office and let us serve you.
No Waveform Output
Setting is correct but no waveform is output
1) Inspect whether BNC cable and channel output terminal are connected correctly.
2) Inspect whether CH1 or CH2 is turned on.
3) If the product still cannot be used normally, please contact with the dealer or local office and let us serve you.
Fail to Correctly Recognize U Disk
1) Inspect whether U disk works normally.
2) Ensure that Flash U disk is used. The instrument does not support hard disk.
3) Restart the instrument, and insert U disk again to see whether it works normally.
4) If U disk still cannot be correctly recognized, please contact with the dealer or local office and let us serve you.
