Trigger Input Tests
These procedures check the trigger level accuracy of the AWG610 Arbitrary
Waveform Generator.
Equipment
required
Two50ĂWBNCĂcoaxial cables, aĂ50ĂWSMAĂcoaxial cable,
ĂaĂSMA(Fe)ĆBNC(Ma)Ăadapter,ĂaĂBNCĆTĂ(maleto 2 females) adapter , a
function generator,and an oscilloscopeĂ(TDS700).
Prerequisites The AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator must meet the
prerequisites listedon page B-8.
Do the following steps to install the test hookup and set the test equipment
controls:
1. Use a 50 WSMA coaxial cable and an SMA(Fe)-BNC(Fe) adapter to
connect the AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator CH1 output connector
to the oscilloscope CH1 input connector.
2. Use a BNC coaxial cable to connect the function generator to the BNC-T
adapter which goes to the Trigger Input on the AWG610. Connect a 50
WBNC coaxial cable to the BNC-T adapter .Connect the opposite end of the
BNC cable to the CH2 input on the oscilloscope.
