view. Choose index by knob, enter to go into the subject.
2. Content view shows a view of specific topic content.go into the content linked by the "link
words".
3. Press ‘Exit’menu softkey to exit.
Screen Area
The signal generator can be divided into three regions: the status panel at the top of the screen,
the menu panel at the right of the screen, the window area at the left corner of the screen.

Status panel indicates whether external usb device is connected with this device, whether usb
device in the rear panel is connected with PC, whether the Internet is connected and the current
time.
The menu panel and window area are corresponding. The content of the window area can be
modified by controlling the menu panel. There are three main ways of style menu panel item.
One way is operation directly. As is shown, press it, then the operation will be modified, or enter
submenu to select, or page to next page to select.
One way is for choosing. It provides a topic and some params. Topic is showed at the top of the
menu item and params showed below. Press the Softkeys F0~F6 corresponded to the item to
choose different params.
The other way is altering. It appears like choosing. But it don’t have topic item, current params is
showed on the front of the menu item and the optional item is at below.
Use F6 button to page down or page up. Press F0 to return the parent menu.

1.4 Prepare Instrument for Use
This section describes basic procedures to help you get started quickly with the instrument.
Prepare Instrument for Use
Connect the power cord as desired. Turn the instrument on by pressing the power switch in the
lower left corner of front panel.
The instrument's default function is a 1 kHz, 200 mVpp sine wave. At power-on, the channel
output connectors are disabled. To enable output on a channel connector, press the key above the
channel connector and then press the Output button.
If the instrument does not turn on, verify that the power cord is firmly connected (power-line
voltage is automatically sensed at power-on). Also make sure that the instrument is connected to
an energized power source.
Power Switch:
To turn off the instrument, please press power switch.
Attention: After turning on, the process of system initialization will take 1~2 minutes; if you turn it
off before the initialization is done, the next time you turn it on, it will prompt that the system is not
properly shut-down. This is necessary to have the system restorable when it collapses, like the
"safe mode" of Windows.
First, press F1, the device will be restart.
If not, press F2 to recover the system, the system will be recovered to the factory default setting.
If not, contact the customer service to get new recover partition program, and press F3 to update
the recover partition.
