2. Confirm Main and Delayed trigger systems are within sensitivity limits
(50 MHz):
a. Display the test signal:
HSet the generator frequency to 50 MHz.
HPress MEASURE.
HPress the main-menu button High-Low Setup; then press the
side-menu button Min-Max.
HPress the main-menu button Select Measrmnt for Ch1.
HPress the side-menu button –more– until Amplitude appears in the
side menu (its icon is shown at the left). Press the side-menu button
Amplitude.
HPress SET LEVEL TO 50%.
HPress CLEAR MENU.
HSet the test signal amplitude for about three and a half divisions on
screen. Now fine adjust the generator output until the CH 1
Amplitude readout indicates the amplitude is 350 mV. Readout may
fluctuate around 350 mV.
HDisconnect the 50 W precision coaxial cable at CH 1 and reconnect
it to CH 1 through a 10X attenuator.
b. Check the Main trigger system for stable triggering at limits:
HRead the following definition: A stable trigger is one that is
consistent; that is, one that results in a uniform, regular display
