Pulse Response Tests
This procedure checks the pulse response characteristics of the AWG500–Series
Waveform Generator output waveforms at amplitudes of 1 V and 2V.
Equipment
required
A 50ĂΩcoaxial cable and an oscilloscope.
Prerequisites The instrument mustmeet the prerequisites listed on page 4-13.
1. Install test hookup and set test equipment controls:
a. Hook up the oscilloscope: Connect the AWG500–Series Waveform
Generator CH1 output connector through the 50 W BNC coaxial cable to
the oscilloscope CH1 input connector (see Figure 4–13).
