Preface
xiv AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Function Generators Service Manual
Finding Other Information
This manual mainly focuses on the performance verification, troubleshooting and
maintenance of the arbitrary/function generator. See the following list for other
documents supporting the arbitrary/function generator. All documents except
Built-in Help are on the AFG3000 Series Product Documents CD-ROM that
shipped with instrument.
Manual Conventions
This manual uses certain conventions that you should become familiar with.
Some sections of the manual contain procedures for you to perform. To keep those
instructions clear and consistent, this manual uses the following conventions:
Front-panel controls and menu names appear in the same case (initial capitals,
all uppercase, and so on) in the manual as is used on the arbitrary/function
generator front-panel and menus. Front-panel labels are all upper case letters
(for example, MENU, SELECT, PULSE GEN, and so on).
Instruction steps are numbered unless there is only one step.
Modules
Throughout this manual, any replaceable component, assembly, or part of the
arbitrary/function generator is referred to generically as a module. In general, a
module is an assembly (like a circuit board), rather than a component (like a
resistor or an integrated circuit). Sometimes a single component is a module; for
example, the chassis of the arbitrary/function generator is a module.
Safety
Symbols and terms related to safety appear in the Safety Summary near the
beginning of this manual.
