Installation of the Measurement Software
Before you connect the DSO (direct digital synthesis oscillator) to a computer, install the meas-
urement software.
Switch on the computer and start the operating system.
Insert the software CD supplied in the CD drive. The automatic start mode will automatically
start the installation of the measuring software.
If this does not happen automatically, start the program „setup.exe" by double-clicking in
Explorer, of your operating system, on the drive holding the CD-ROM. The software installation
will start.
The installation assistant will guide you through the installation. Please follow the on-screen
instructions.
In the start menu's program manager, a new folder called „DDS 3005 USB" is created.
Leave the CD in the drive for device installation (drivers).
Connection and Installation of the DDS Prefix
Connect the USB connection cable provided to two free USB ports on your computer and then
to the USB connection (G) on the DDS prefix.
The operating system recognises the new hardware and starts the hardware assistant.
Follow the on the screen instructions.
Choose the installation option „Install software automatically (recommended)" and press
„Continue".
The system searches for the compatible driver. Follow the instructions on the screen until the
installation is completed.
Starting the Measurement Software
Start the computer and connect the USB connector from the computer to the DSO (DDS pre-
fix), before starting the program.
Start the „DDS-3005 USB" program from the start menu or the desktop.
The start screen for the measuring software appears and initializes the DDS prefix. The func-
tion generator is now ready for operation.
Cleaning
Always observe the following safety instructions before cleaning the device:
Live components may be exposed if covers are opened or parts are removed
(unless this can be done without tools).
Prior to cleaning or repairing of the device, all cables have to be detached and
the device has to be turned off.
Do not use any cleaning agents containing carbon, petrol, alcohol or the like to clean the prod-
uct. These might attack the surface of the device. Furthermore, the fumes are hazardous to
your health and are explosive. Moreover, you should not use sharp-edged tools, screwdrivers
or metal brushes or suchlike for cleaning.
For cleaning the device or the display and the measuring cables, use a clean, slightly damp,
fuzz-free, antistatic cloth.
Should questions arise concerning the use of the device, feel free to contact our
technical support at the following phone number:
