Testing Performance
To verify trigger sensitivity
Test External Trigger Sensitivity
Verify the external trigger sensitivity at these settings: 100 MHz (54622A/22D/24A), <150
60 MHz (54621A/21D), <150
25MHz (All models), <75
1 Use the power splitter to connect the calibrator to both the channel 1 input and the external trigger input. The Ext Trigger input is on the rear
panel of the
2Change the output of the calibrator to 100 MHz for the 54622A/22D/24A
or 60 MHz for the 54621A/21D, and set the amplitude to 106 mVrms (300
The power splitter divides the 300
3Press the Autoscale key.
4Press the Trigger Edge key, then press the Ext softkey to set the trigger source to external trigger.
5Check for stable triggering, and adjust the trigger level if necessary.
6 Record the results as Pass or Fail in the Performance Test Record.
If the test fails, see the “Troubleshooting” chapter. Then return here.
7Change the output of the calibrator to 25 MHz and set the amplitude to
25.74 mVrms (75
