Trigger Input Tests
These procedures verify the trigger level accuracy of the AWG500-Series
Arbitrary Waveform Generator.
Equipment
required
A BNC T adapter,Ăthree50ĂWBNCĂcoaxial cable, Ăa function generator,
and an oscilloscope.
Prerequisites The AWG500-SeriesWaveform Generator Arbitrary Waveform
Generator must meetthe prerequisites listed on page 4-13.
1. Do the following steps to install the test hookup and set the test equipment
controls:
a. Use a 50 WBNC coaxial cable to connect the AWG500–Series
Waveform Generator CH1 output connector to the oscilloscope CH1
input connector.
b. Connect a BNC T adapter to the TRIG IN connector and then use a 50
WBNC coaxial cable to connect the BNC T adapter to the oscilloscope
CH2 input connector.
c. Use a 50 WBNC coaxial cable to connect the function generator output
to the other end of the BNC T adapter.
