General Safety Summary
Read the following precautions carefully to avoid any personal
injuries, or damage to the instrument or products connected to it.
Use the instrument only as specied.
Use only the power cord supplied for the instrument.
Ground the instrument. The instrument is grounded through the
ground conductor of the power cord. To avoid electric shock,
always connect to grounded outlets. Make sure the instrument is
grounded correctly before connecting its input or output terminals.
Do not connect external signals. The BNC connector is used to
output the generated waveforms only. No external signals should
be connected to the BNC, or the instrument may be damaged.
Observe all terminal ratings and signson the instrument to
avoid re or electric shock. Before connecting to the instrument,
read the manual to understand the input/output ratings.
Do not operate with suspected failures. If you suspect that the
instrument is damaged, contact the Teledyne LeCroy service
department immediately.
Do not operate in wet/damp conditions.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.
Keep the surface of the instrument clean and dry.
Avoid touching exposed circuits or wires. Do not touch
exposed contacts or components when the power is on.
Do not operate without covers. Do not operate the instrument
with covers or panels removed.
Use proper overvoltage protection.
Observe ventilation requirements. Ensure good ventilation.
Check the vent and fan regularly to prevent overheating.

5. Adjust Knob
●Used to increase (clockwise) or decrease (anticlockwise) the current
numerical value when setting parameters.
●Also used to change characters when inputting a le name.
●When saving or reading les, rotate the knob to choose a position to save a
le or choose a le to be read; press the knob to open a selected folder or
le.
6. Arrow Keys
●Used to adjust digits in numeric values when using the knob to set
parameters.
●Also used to position the cursor when inputting a le name.
●When saving or reading les, the arrow keys are used to choose a position
to save a le or choose a le to be read.
7. CH1 Control Port/Output Button
●The Output button on the left is used to turn on/o CH1 output.
●The nominal output impedance of the BNC connector is 50 Ω.
●When pressing Output the key backlight turns on, and the connector
outputs waveforms according to the current conguration of CH1.
CH2 Control Port/Output Button
●The Output button on the right is used to turn on/o CH2 output.
●The nominal output impedance of the BNC connector is 50 Ω.
●When pressing Output, the backlight turns on, and the connector outputs
waveforms according to the current conguration of CH2.
CAUTION:
Over voltage protection of CH1 and CH2 will take eect once any of the following
conditions is met. When over voltage protection occurs, a message will be
displayed and the output is disabled.
•The absolute value of input voltage is higher than 11 V ± 0.5 V when the amplitude of
the generator is higher than or equal to 2Vpp or the DC oset is higher than or equal
to |3VDC| under HighZ load.
•The absolute value of input voltage is higher than 4 V ± 0.5 V when the amplitude of
the generator is lower than 2 Vpp and the DC oset is lower than |3 VDC| under HighZ
load.
Choose Utility → → to turn on/o the function.
