Performance Verification

Event Input and Enhanced Mode Tests

These procedures check the event input signals and enhanced mode operation.

NOTE. The event input check with strobe off and the strobe input check are structured as a continuous test. After the Check Event Input with Strobe Off test is complete, the Check Strobe Input test uses the connections and oscilloscope settings from the Check Event Input with Strobe Off test.

Equipment

A650￿W SMA6coaxial cable,6a6SMA ￿female￿7BNC ￿male￿6adapter and

required

oscilloscope6￿TDS784D￿, and custom7made ground closure. See Figure

 

4-3 for the connections.

 

 

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 a SMA(Fe)-BNC(Fe) adapter to connect the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator CH1 output connector to the oscilloscope CH1 input connector (see Figure 4±20).
