1. The instrument has both input and output connectors on the front panel.
When connecting a cable, be sure to distinguish the input connector from the
output connectors.
The arbitrary/function generator input and output connectors are floating
inputs/outputs.
Avoid Instrument Damage
The instrument will be damaged if a large DC or AC voltage is applied to the output
or input connectors. To protect the output circuits, a fuse adapter is provided as an
optional accessory. When the instrument is used by students or other inexperienced
users, always attach the fuse adapter to the output connectors to avoid damage.
Tektronix part numbers for the fuse adapter are as follows:
