-Plug in your <test & measurement device>, then start WaveForms and make sure your device is connected. +

-If no device is connected to the host computer when WaveForms launches, the **Device Manager** will launch automatically. +

-Make sure that the device is plugged in and turned on, at which point it will appear in the Device Manager's device list (1.). Click on the device in the list ("DEMO" devices are also listed, which allow the user to use WaveForms and create projects without a physical device) to select it, then click the **Select** button (2.) to close the Device Manager. +

-**Note:** //The Device Manager can be reopened by clicking on the "Connected Device" button in the bottom right corner of the screen (3.), or by selecting "Device Manager" from the "Settings" menu at the top of the screen.// +

-== 2.1 Hardware Setup == +
-In order to measure a signal with the //Spectrum // instrument, there must first be a signal to measure. To this end, step 2.1 of this guide describes setting up a simple loopback circuit that connects the <test & measurement device>'s Waveform Generator and Oscilloscope pins. +
- +
-Connect the <test & measurement device>'s scope channel 1 pin (orange wire) to the device's wavegen channel 1 output pin (yellow wire). For devices that use differential input channels, such as the Analog Discovery Studio with MTE cables, make sure to connect the scope channel 1 negative pin (orange wire with white stripes) to the ground pin associated with wavegen channel 1 (black wire). +

-== 2.2 Input Signal == +
-With the loopback circuit set up, a signal must now be applied to the analog output pins. WaveForms' //Wavegen// instrument will be used to accomplish this. +
- +
-From the //Spectrum// instrument, opened in step 1.2, return to WaveForms' Welcome page by clicking on its tab at the top of the screen. In the Welcome tab, open the //Wavegen// instrument, then click the "Run" button in the control bar near the top of the window to begin outputting a signal. With default settings, a 1V amplitude (2V peak-to-peak) 1kHz sine wave is applied to the wavegen channel 1 output pin. Change the frequency to 500kHz by selecting the Frequency parameter drop down menu or typing into the text field.  +
- +
-For more detail on how to use the //Wavegen// instrument, please see the [[learn:instrumentation:tutorials:analog-discovery-studio-waveform-generator:start|Using the Waveform Generator]] guide. +
- +
-Return to the //Spectrum// instrument by clicking on its tab in the bar at the top of the screen. +
