SIGLENT provides Python scripts for calibrating SDG series products, available for download.
- Python: Ensure Python 2.7 is installed along with PyVISA, PyQt4, and PyWin32 modules.
- Microsoft Office: Required for handling test reports saved as .xls files, compatible with MS Office 2003 or later.
- NI VISA: PyVISA relies on the National Instruments VISA I/O library, which can be downloaded online.
Allow the generator and test equipment to warm up for at least 30 minutes at an ambient temperature between 18°C and 28°C to ensure optimal performance.
This involves feedback channel adjustment, channel self-adjustment, and vertical accuracy calibration.
- Feedback Channel Adjustment: Connect the DMM, PC, and SDG5000 generator, then run the FeedbackAdjust.py script.
- Channel Self Adjustment: Disconnect BNC cables after feedback adjustment, select "Self Adjust" in the Test/Cal system, and follow prompts.
- Vertical Accuracy Calibration: Calibrate amplitude at low frequency using a DMM, run VertAccCalib.py script, and follow prompts.
Compensate for amplitude changes with frequency. Connect the generator to a PC and power meter, run FrqRespCalib.py, and follow prompts for adjustments.
Includes security considerations, a list of modules, required tools, and detailed disassembly procedures.
- Security Considerations: Only qualified personnel should perform disassembly. Disconnect power to avoid electric shock and ESD damage.
- Disassembly Steps: Detailed steps for removing the handle, metal shell, front cabinet, display module, and main body using a PH2 screwdriver.
Guidelines for checking the main board, channel board, and power supply. Includes ESD precautions and required equipment like a digital multimeter and oscilloscope.
Ensure the generator is grounded, check the fuse, and test voltage values at specified test points using a digital multimeter.
Ensure all connectors on the channel and main boards are properly connected. Use a digital multimeter to verify that voltage values at test points are within specified ranges. For the channel board, test points include +15V, -15V, -5V, +5V, VCC3.3V, VCC5V, VCC1.8V, VCC1.2V, FAN_12V, and PLL_3.3V, each with an error limit of ±5%. For the main board, test points include +16V, 3.3V, VCC5V, and VCC1.2V, also with an error limit of ±5%.
Check the FPGA by observing the FPGA_LED; it should blink at 1Hz. For the mainboard clock, use an oscilloscope to verify the 25MHz frequency with a stability of ±50ppm.
Ensure DSP and CPLD chips are functioning by checking the DSP_LED/CPLD_LED lights. If the lights are on, the chips are working correctly.
For no start-up, check power connections, the power button, and the fuse. For a dark screen, verify power connections and test voltages at -5V and LED_ANODE. For no response or abnormal display, check the keypad circuit board connections.
SIGLENT offers a three-year warranty for defects in materials and workmanship. For service, contact the nearest SIGLENT office. SIGLENT is not liable for indirect or consequential damages.
When shipping for service, tag the unit with owner information and required service, use the original container or ensure 4 inches of packaging material around the unit, and use static-free materials.
Contact details for SIGLENT offices in North America, Headquarters in China, and Europe are provided for service and inquiries.
