10 MHz Reference Output LevelĂTests
These procedures check the AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator clock
output signal.
Equipment
required
A 50ĂW BNC coaxial cable and an oscilloscope.
Prerequisites The instrument 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 BNC coaxial cable to connect the AWG610 Arbitrary
Waveform Generator 10 MHz REF OUT output to the oscilloscope input
connector (see Figure B–29).
