Applying and Interrupting Power
Refer to the following information when you power on or power off the
instrument, or when power is interrupted due to an external power failure.
Upon power on, the Waveform Generator runs a power-on self check. If it passes,
the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator displays a Pass status message and
a prompt to press any key to continue. If this fails, the AWG710 Arbitrary
Waveform Generator displays a diagnostic log that identifies the area(s) that
failed and a prompt to press any key to continue. Refer to the Maintenance
section for information on diagnostics and fault isolation.
CAUTION. DO NOT power off the Waveform Generator when either running a
signal path compensation or when doing any of the adjustments described in the
Adjustment Procedures section. To do so might result in the loss of internally
stored adjustment constants.
Do not power off the instrument when doing operations that affect the data stored
in the memory. Wait for the instrument to finish the operation when doing
adjustments, saving waveforms, or saving setups.
Improper power off, toggling the instrument to STBY improperly, or unexpected
loss of power to the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator can result in
calibration data corruptions on the hard disk.
