Quick Start One of the first things y ou will want to do with your function gene rator is to become acquainted with its front pan el. We have wr itten the exercises in this chapter to prepare the fu nction generator for use and help yo u get familiar with some of the front-panel operations.
To prepare the function generator for use The follow ing st eps he lp yo u verif y tha t the fu nction genera tor is ready fo r use. 1 Check the list of supplied items. Verify that you have rec eived t he follow ing items with yo ur func tion gen erator .
If the function generator does not turn on Use the follow ing steps to help solve problems you might expe rience when turning on the function gene rator. If you need m ore help, see chapte r 6 for instructions on returning th e function generator to Agilent for service.
Verify that the correct line voltage is selected and the power-line fuse is good. 1 Remove the power cord . Remove the fuse-holder assembly from the rear panel. 2 Remov e the line-vo ltage selec tor from the assembly. 3 Rotate the line-voltag e selector until the correct voltage appears in the window.
To adjust the carrying handle To adju st the position , grasp the handle by th e sides an d pu ll outwa rd . Then, rotate the handle to the desi red position.
To set the output frequency At power-on, the f unction generator outputs a s ine wave at 1 kHz with an amplitude of 100 mV peak-to-peak (into a 50 W termination). The foll owing s teps sho w you how to ch ange the frequen cy to 1.2 MHz. Freq 1 E nab le the freq uency modify mode.
To set the output amplitude At power-on, the f unction generator outpu ts a sine wave with an amplitude of 100 mV peak-to-pe ak (into a 50 W termination). The foll owing s teps sho w you how to ch ange the amplitud e to 50 mVrms. Ampl 1 E nab le the a mplitude modify mode.
To set a dc offset voltage At power-on, the f unction generator outputs a s ine wave with a dc off set voltage of 0 v olts (into a 50 W termination). The foll owing s teps sho w you how to change the offset to – 1.5 mVdc. Offs et 1 E nab le the o ffset modify mode.
To set the duty cycle Applies only to square waves. At power-on, the duty cycle for square waves is 50%. You can adjust the duty cycle for a s quare waveform from 20% to 80%, in in crements of 1% (for frequenci es above 5 MHz, the range is 40 % to 6 0%).
To output a stored arbitrary waveform There are five built-in arbitrary waveforms stored in non-volatile memory for you r use. Yo u can out put th ese wave forms dir ectly f rom non- volatil e memory. The followin g step s show you how to outpu t an “ex ponential rise” waveform fr om memory.

5 Theory of Operation 5.
Theory of Operation This chapter is organized to p rovide descriptions of the circuitry contained on the schematics shown in chapter 8. A block diagram overview is p rovided followed by more detailed descriptions of the circuitry containe d in the schematics chapter.
Block Diagram Overview This discussion per tains to the block diagram shown on page 129. The fu nction function ge nerator’s circuitr y is divide d into two maj or bloc ks: th e floating se ction and the earth (g round) re fere nce sec tion . All signal generation, control, and display functions are con tained in the flo ating se ction.
Output Attenuator Block 8 on block diagram page 129; Schematic on page 138. The Output Attenuato r provides 0 to 30 dB of signal attenuation betwee n the output amplifier section and the output BNC connector.
Output Ampl ifier Block 7 on block diagram page 129; Schematic on page 137. The outpu t amplifier drive s the function gen erator’s signal output through the outp ut attenuator section. The output amplifier exhibits an approximate 35 MHz bandwidth and 1000 V/ m s slew ra te.
The block diagram shows four basic stages: dc amplifier, input differential amplifier, gain, and power output. The amp lifier’s input differential amplifier stage and gain stage are s ymmetrical.
AM Modulation Bloc ks 3 and 6 on block diagram page 12 9; Schem atics on pages 13 6 and 133. Amplitude modulation is performed by analog multiplier U603 combining the AM_IN and +FUNCTION a nd -FUNCTION signals. Modulation depths from 0% to 120% are set by varying the s ignal at AM_IN.
Pre-attenuator Block 6 on block diagram page 129; Schematic on page 136. All signals, e xcept square waves, pas s through the preatten uator. The preatte nuator multiplexes eight resistive 2 d B attenuators to provid e attenuation from 0 dB to 14 d B in 2 dB steps.
Transistors Q 601 and Q602 buffer the output of the sine wa ve anti-alias filter to the input of comparator U620. Square wa ve duty cycles are controlled by the SQ_SYM input on th e invert ing input of the compar ator. The squarewave o utputs of U620 are amplified by variable gain amplifiers Q603 and Q604.
Filters Block 5 on block diagram page 129; Schematic on page 135. The ou tput of the Wav eform DAC passes through one o f two anti-alias filters. A 17 MHz 9th order elliptical filter is used for the sine wave and squar e wave output function s.
Waveform DAC/Amplitud e Leveling/Waveform RAM Block 4 on block diagram page 129; Schematic on page 134. The Waveform DAC, U407, converts 12-bit digital data from waveform RAM’s U404 and U405 into positive and negative analog voltages. A simplified diagram of the Waveform DAC circuitry is shown below.
The Waveform DAC voltage referen ce is driven by U410B. This reference controls the mag nitude of the nom inal 0 to -40 mA DAC outpu t current. The reference le vel is varied to produce 0 to -2 dB fin.
Direct Di gital Synthesis ( DDS ASIC) Block 2 on block diagram page 129; Schematic on page 132. The DDS ASIC, U206, controls the WA ( waveform address) and MA (modulation addres s) busses. The wavef orm address is used by the waveform RAMs U404 and U405.
System DACs Block 3 on block diagram page 129; Schematic on page 133. All output amplitudes are derived from the internal voltage reference of System DAC U303.
Floating L ogic Block 1 on bloc k diagr am page 129; Sc hematic on pag e 131. The floating l ogic controls the operat i on of the ent ire function function generat or. All outp ut funct ions and bus c ommand int erpreta tion is performed by the m ain CPU, U102.
The main CPU, U102, communicates with the e arth referenced logic through an optically isolated asynchronous serial data link. U101 isolates the incomin g data (OG_ RXD*) from t he earth referenc ed logic. Si milarly, U901 isolates the data from U102 (OG_TXD) to the earth ref erence logic.
The ac mains are connected by a fuse d power entry module, P1. This m odule incorpo rates the functio ns of mains connec tion, on/of f switching, fusing, and line voltage selection (100/120/220 (230)/240). The line voltage se lection function of module P1 selects which primary windi ng of p ower t ransf ormer T1 is en ergize d.
Display and Keyboard Block 11 on block diagram page 129; Schematic on page 141. The front pa nel c ircuits cons ist o f vacu um fl uores cent di splay contr ol, disp lay high voltage drivers , and key board s canning.
