Performance Verification

Marker Output Tests

The following procedures check the accuracy of the AWG710 Arbitrary

Waveform Generator marker output level.

NOTE. Connect a 50 ￿ SMA terminator to the inverted marker output connector during the marker output tests.

Equipment

A 503W BNC3coaxial cable, a 503W3precision terminator, a3SMA

required

￿male￿4BNC ￿female￿3adapters, BNC ￿female￿4to4dual banana adapter,

 

and a digital multimeter ￿DMM￿.

 

 

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 BNC coaxial cable, a SMA(Ma)-BNC(Fe) adapter, a 50 W precision terminator, and a BNC-to-dual banana adapter to connect the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator MARKER 1 OUT to the DMM input connector (see Figure 4±29).
