Preface
Finding other information
This manual focuses on the performance verification of the instrument. See the
following list for other documents supporting the instrument on www.tek.com.
Document Description
AFG3000C and AFG3000 Series
Quick Start User Manual
A quick reference to major features of the instrument and how they operate. It also provides
several tutorials to familiarize you with basic instrument features.
AFG3000C and AFG3000 Series
Programmer Manual
An encyclopedia of topics that describe the instrument interface and features, and gives
background information on how to use them. It provides Menu Structures, User Interface, and
Programming Information.
AFG3000C and AFG3000 Series
Online Help
A online help system, integrated with the User Interface application that ships with this
product. The help is preinstalled in the instrument.
Manual conventions
This manual uses certain conventions that you should become familiar with.
Some sections of the manual contain procedures for you to perform. To keep those
instructions clear and consistent, this manual uses the following conventions:
Front-panel controls and menu names appear in the same case (initial capitals,
all uppercase, and so on) in the manual as is used on the instrument front panel
and menus. Front-panel labels are all upper case letters (for example, MENU,
SELECT, PULSE GEN, and so on).
Instruction steps are numbered unless there is only one step.
Modules Throughout this manual, any replaceable component, assembly, or part of the
instrument is referred to generically as a module. In general, a module is an
assembly (such as a circuit board). Sometimes a single component is a module;
for example, the chassis of the instrument is a module.
Safety Symbols and terms related to safety appear in the Safety Summary near the
beginning of this manual.
