Performance Verification

1/4 Clock Frequency(and(10 MHz Reference Input Tests

These procedures check the 10 MHz reference input function of the AWG710

Arbitrary Waveform Generator .

male￿=BNC￿male￿<adapter,<a frequency counter, and a function

 

generator.

 

 

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 SMA (Fe)-BNC (Ma) adapter to connect the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator 1/4 CLOCK OUT connector to the input A connector on the frequency counter.

2.Use a 50 W BNC coaxial cable to connect the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator 10 MHz REF IN connector to the function generator output connector (see Figure 4±28).
