Manual Overview

The Wavetek Model 175 Arbitrary Waveform Generator is designed to produce waveforms that can be defined as functions of time. It features four sets of 256-address RAMs, each accepting 8-bit words, allowing for a 1024 by 255 matrix for waveform creation. Troubleshooting involves checking the front panel controls and GPIB interface for correct parameter settings. Error diagnostics are facilitated by immediate parameter verification via the keyboard and display. Calibration and adjustments are managed through selectable clock rates and amplitude settings, with options for digital smoothing to reduce step size at low frequencies. The manual provides guidance on board-level operations, including addressing RAMs and PROMs for waveform storage. Operational modes include continuous, preset triggered, and monitor triggered, with the ability to hold or stop waveforms using front panel keys or external signals. The generator supports integration into a GPIB system, adhering to IEEE Standard 488-1975. For maintenance, ensure power safety and follow grounding instructions to prevent electrical hazards.
