Front-Panel Number Entry

You can enter numbers from the front-panel using one of three methods.

Use the arrow keys to edit individual digits.

Use the “Enter Number” mode to enter a number with the appropriate units.

Use the knob and the arrow keys to modify the displayed number.

In This Book

Quick Start Chapter 1 prepares the function generator for use and

helps you get familiar with a few of its front-panel features.

Front-Panel Menu Operation Chapter 2 introduces you to the

front-panel menu and describes some of the function generator’s

menu features.

Features and Functions Chapter 3 gives a detailed description of the

function generator’s capabilities and operation. You will find this

chapter useful whether you are operating the function generator from

the front panel or over the remote interface.

Remote Interface Reference Chapter 4 contains reference

information to help you program the function generator over the

remote interface.

Error Messages Chapter 5 lists the error messages that may appear

as you are working with the function generator. Each listing contains

enough information to help you diagnose and solve the problem.

Application Programs Chapter 6 contains several remote interface

application programs to help you develop programs for your application.

Tutorial Chapter 7 discusses the fundamentals of signal generation

and modulation techniques.

Specifications Chapter 8 lists the function generator’s specifications.

For information on using the Phase-Lock Option for the 33120A, refer to

the User’s and Service Guide included with the Option 001.

If you have questions relating to the operation of the 33120A,

call 1-800-452-4844 in the United States, or contact your nearest

Agilent Technologies Sales Office.

If you believe your 33120A has failed, refer to “Operating Checklist”,

“Types of Service Available”, and “Repackaging for Shipment” at the

beginning of chapter 6 in the 33120A Service Guide.
