Contents Inspect the shipping container Keep the shipping container or cushioning material until the contents of the shipment have been completely checked and the instrument has passed both electrical and mechanical tests. The consigner or carrier will be responsible for damages to the instrument resulting from shipment. SIGLENT will not provide free maintenance or replacement.
The Front Panel Adjust the supporting legs For benchtop operation, you may want to use the supporting legs. Adjust the supporting feet appropriately to tilt the RF signal source upwards. Figure 1- 1 Before adjusting Figure 1- 2 After adjusting Connect to AC power supply The RF signal source accepts 100-240V, 50/60/440Hz AC power supply. Please use the power cord provided in the accessory to connect the instrument to the power source as shown in the figure below.

Digital keyboard The front panel of the RF signal source provides a numeric keypad (as shown below). The keyboard supports English uppercase and lowercase characters, numbers, and common symbols (including decimal points, spaces, and !, @, #,$, %, ^, &, *), mainly for editing the name of files or folders and setting parameters (refer to the "parameter setting" section). Control Keys 0 Digit 0 and space bar switch *...# In the English state, enter the special symbol !, @, #,$, %, ^, &, *.
Direction knob and keys operation 1. Direction knob In the non-parametric input state, turn the knob to move the focus frame in sequence. Press the knob in the function area to enter the next level menu bar. Press the knob in the parameter input area, the cursor will focus to a certain position, and then turn the knob to change the value. 2. Direction keys In the non-parametric input state, press the up, down, left and right direction keys to move the focus frame in sequence.
Front panel connectors 1. LF output 1 Output for the LF (low frequency) signal. This is a BNC connection. The output can also be configured to source the modulation waveform for FM and PM modulation types. 2. Radio frequency output terminal 2 RF signal output N-type connector with an impedance of 50 ohms.

1. AC power input terminal The RF signal source can operate with AC power from 100 V - 240 V, at 45 Hz - 440 Hz. Please connect the RF signal source to the AC power supply with the supplied power cord. connector, it will use it as an external reference source. At this point the user interface status bar shows "Ext Ref".
High level (3.3 V): Indicates that the RF signal is being configured. Low level (0 V): Indicates that the RF signal is stable (effective). 14. Q_OUT Output the analog, in–phase component of I/Q modulation from the internal baseband generator when the internal IQ modulation mode is on. 10. TRIG IN/OUT When PULSE trigger mode is "Int ", the connector can be used to output the trigger signal.
