  • NI VISA: PyVISA relies on the National Instruments VISA I/O library, which can be downloaded online.
Warming Up
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.
Channel Adjustment Procedures
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.

Troubleshooting
Guidelines for checking the main board, channel board, and power supply. Includes ESD precautions and required equipment like a digital multimeter and oscilloscope.
Power Supply Testing
Ensure the generator is grounded, check the fuse, and test voltage values at specified test points using a digital multimeter.
Voltage Checking Procedures:
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%.
FPGA and Mainboard Clock Checking:
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.
DSP/CPLD Checking:
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.
Quick Guide for General Failures:
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.
Maintenance and Warranty:
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.
Repackaging for Shipment:
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.
