Chapter 3: Testing Performance
To test the single-clock, multiple-edge, state acquisition
Verify the test signal
1 Check the clock period. Using the oscilloscope, verify that the master-to-
master clock time is 5.000 ns, +0 ps or –100 ps:
a Enable the pulse generator channel 1, channel 2, and trigger outputs
(LED off).
b In the oscilloscope Timebase menu, select Scale: 2.000 ns/div.
c In the oscilloscope Timebase menu, select Position. Using the
oscilloscope knob, position the clock waveform so that a rising edge
appears at the left of the display.
d On the oscilloscope, select [Shift] + width: channel 2, then select
[Enter] to display the master-to-master clock time (+ width(2)). If the
positive-going pulse width is more than 5.000 ns, go to step e. If the
positive-going pulse width is less than or equal to 5.000 ns but greater
than 4.900 ns, go to step 2.
e On the oscilloscope, select [Shift] - width: channel 2, then select [Enter]
(- width(2)). If the negative pulse width is less than or equal to 5.000 ns
but greater than 4.900 ns, go to step 2.
f Adjust the pulse generator Period and Channel 1 width until the
oscilloscope + width (2) or - width (2) reads less than or equal to
5.000 ns, but greater than 4.900 ns.
