2400 Operation
2.1 Introduction
This chapter describes how to operate the 2400 Series from the front panel. For reference, Chapter 1
pertains to instructions on how to install the instrument and details instrumental interfacing prior to
the unit’s first operation. Chapter 3 gives operational instructions on using the instrument from a
remote host computer over the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) or an RS-232 serial connection
2.2 Front Panel
The 2400 Series front panel contains the controls and display for local operation of the instrument.
Some functions are not available from the front panel; they require use of a PC with any compatible
remote interface. Giga-tronics WaveMaker software is included with each 2400 Series to quickly
access these functions. Front panel controls are grouped according to the functions they perform.
Descriptions for the front panel controls are referenced to the numbers depicted in illustration 2.2 on
the next page.
