Chapter 1 Quick Start
If it’s the first time for you to use the generator or you have no time to read the guide carefully,
you can get the basic operation as soon as you finish browsing the chapter1. If more complicated
functions are needed or difficulties are met in operation, please read operating instruction in
chapter 3.
1 1 Preparation for usage
1 1 1 Check the list of supplied items
Verify that you have received the complete unit according to the packing list. If you find package
damaged badly, leave it until the instrument passes performance test. If anything is missing, please
contact sales office.
1 1 2 Connect the power
Turn on the instrument only the following conditions are met,
Voltage: AC 100~240V Frequency: 45~65Hz
Temperature: 0~40
℃
Humidity: <80%
Plug the power cord into an AC100 ~240V socket with ground wire and press On /Off switch
below socket on rear panel. Then blinking power button on front panel indicating the generator
well connected with power but still in off state. Only press power button, the generator initializes
itself and obtains the default parameters, enter into normal working state, with signal’s parameters
displayed.
Warning: In order to ensure the security of the operator, use triple- core power socket with
ground wire
By the way, other equipment’s ground wire connecting with the instrument must be firmly
connected, otherwise the instrument will be damaged

1 3 2 Display description: There are four areas in the display screen. Upside is company’s logo
and status information area, middle area is used to display parameters and waveform diagram,
downside area is used to show channel’s brief information, and the right side of display is menu
area. Display interface is as follows:
1. orking parameter 2. Voltage scale 3. Channel’s brief information
4. Operation menu 5.Status information
1 4 Data Input
1 4 1 Menu operation:
Screen’s right side is operating menu, press the soft keys
besides this menu and select one of them you want to set, while the background of chosen
item will turn light and you can use the numerical keys or knob to set or modify the
parameter, for balance items still remain grey and it’s unavailable for user to set now.
Functions which can be chosen by the soft keys can also be selected by finger touch
because of touch screen. For a brief description, the following contents about menu
operation are all related to soft key operation but not touch screen.
1 4 2 Keyboard input: If one parameter is chosen, the background of chosen item will turn light.
