Connecting the Instruments

Connect the Pulse Generator, the Arbitrary Waveform Generator and

the DCA as follows:

CAUTION Before disconnecting/connecting any cables make sure that the

81134A output channels are turned off!

In detail:

1Connect the 33250A output to the channel 2 delay control input of

the 81134A (use the BNC-SMA adaptor and a 20 dB attenuator).

2Connect a 20 dB attenuator each to the channel 1 and the trigger

input of the DCA.

3 Connect the 81134A channel 2 output to the DCA’s channel 1 input.

4 Connect the 81134A trigger output to the DCA’s trigger input.

5 Power on the three units after you have made all connections.
