Ya don't really 'excite' the generator. What you do to a generator is set the magnetism in the iron pole pieces, so that there is some residual magnetic field to kick it off to generating.

Applying battery voltage to the Armature terminal for only a second will accomplish the 'polarization'. Battery terminal to ARM terminal on generator OR at regulator ARM to BATT terminals will either accomplish 'polarization'.
