AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
Trigger Input Tests
These procedures check the trigger level accuracy of the AWG610 Arbitrary
Waveform Generator.
Equipment
required
Two 50ĂW BNCĂcoaxial cables, aĂ50ĂW SMAĂcoaxial cable,
ĂaĂSMA(Fe)ĆBNC(Ma)Ăadapter,ĂaĂBNCĆTĂ(male to 2 females) adapter , a
function generator, and an oscilloscopeĂ(TDS700).
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 a 50 W SMA coaxial cable and an SMA(Fe)-BNC(Fe) adapter to
connect the AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator CH1 output connector
to the oscilloscope CH1 input connector.
2. Use a BNC coaxial cable to connect the function generator to the BNC-T
adapter which goes to the Trigger Input on the AWG610. Connect a 50
W BNC coaxial cable to the BNC-T adapter .Connect the opposite end of the
BNC cable to the CH2 input on the oscilloscope.
