Pulse Response Tests
This procedure checks the pulse response characteristics of the AWG610
Arbitrary Waveform Generator output waveforms at amplitudes of 1 V.
Equipment
required
A 50ĂW SMAĂcoaxial cable and an oscilloscope (TDS820).
Prerequisites The AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator must meet the
prerequisites listed on page B-8.
Do the following steps to install the test hookup and set the test equipment
controls:
1. Use the 50 W SMA coaxial cable to connect the AWG610 Arbitrary
Waveform Generator CH1 output connector to the oscilloscope CH1 input
connector (see Figure B–12).
