AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Function Generators Service Manual 6-1
Maintenance
This section contains the information needed to do periodic and corrective
maintenance on the arbitrary/function generator. The following subsections are
included:
Preparation — Tells you how to get ready to do arbitrary/function generator
maintenance.
Preventing ESD — Provides general information on preventing damage to
internal modules when doing maintenance.
Inspection and Cleaning — Information and procedures for inspecting the
arbitrary/function generator and cleaning its external and internal modules.
Removal and Installation Procedures — Procedures for the removal of
defective modules and replacement of new or repaired modules.
Troubleshooting — Information for isolating failed modules. Included are
instructions for operating the internal diagnostic routines of the
arbitrary/function generator and troubleshooting trees. Most of the trees make
use of these internal diagnostic routines to speed fault isolation to a module.
Preparation
Only qualified persons should perform service procedures. Before performing any
service procedures, read the Safety Summary and General Safety Summary section
of this manual and the ESD information below. Also refer to the Operating
Information section and your arbitrary/function generator user manual for
information about using the arbitrary/function generator.
Preventing ESD
When performing any service that requires internal access to the arbitrary/function
generator, adhere to the precautions on page 6-2. These precautions will help you
avoid damaging internal modules and their components due to electrostatic
discharge (ESD).
CAUTION. Static discharge can damage any semiconductor component in this
arbitrary/function generator.
