2 Getting Started
2.1 System Requirements
The Berkeley Nucleonics graphical user interface requires at least the minimum system requirements
to run one of the supported operating systems.
Operating system Windows™ 2000 SP4, XP SP2, Vista, 7, 8
Remote 10/100/1000M Ethernet or USB 2.0 Port
2.2 Unpacking the Instrument
Remove the instrument materials from the shipping containers. Save the containers for future use.
The standard product package includes:
1 Synthesized Signal Generator
1 Ethernet Cable
1 Universal DC power adapter
1 Software & Manual CD
2.3 Initial Inspection
Inspect the shipping container for damage. If container is damaged, retain it until contents of the
shipment have been verified against the packing list and instruments have been inspected for
mechanical and electrical operation.
2.4 Starting the Instrument
This section describes installation instructions and verification tests.
2.4.1 Applying Power
Place the instrument on the intended workbench and connect the appropriate DC power supply to the
receptacle on the rear of the unit. Make sure you use the included DC power supply. The instruments
typically require 6 V DC at 3A peak. Using other supplies may lead to malfunction and damage of
the Instrument.
Press the line on/off switch on the rear panel. If available, the front panel display will illuminate. The
instrument will initialize and momentarily display the model number, firmware revision and product
serial number. The display will then switch to the factory default display setting, showing preset
frequency (100 MHz) and power (0.0 dBm), phase lock status (of internal reference) and instrument
connectivity status (Ethernet IP or USB identifier).
Note, the instrument booting process may take up to 60 seconds (depending on configuration) to
complete.
