Performance Verification

Trigger Input Tests

These procedures check the trigger level accuracy of the AWG710 Arbitrary

Waveform Generator.

Equipment	Two 505W BNC5coaxial cables, a5505W SMA5coaxial cable, 5a5SMA
required	￿female￿6BNC ￿male￿5adapter,5a5BNC6T5￿male to 2 females￿ adapter, a
	function generator, and an oscilloscope5￿TDS784D￿.
Prerequisites	The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator must meet the
	prerequisites listed on page￿4-8.

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 AWG710 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 AWG710. 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. Refer tp Figure 4±15.
