B-52 AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
1/4 Clock FrequencyĂandĂ10 MHz Reference Input Tests
These procedures check the 10 MHz reference input function of the AWG610
Arbitrary Waveform Generator.
Equipment
required
Two50ĂWBNCĂcoaxial cables, a frequency counter, and a function
generator.
Prerequisites The AWG610Arbitrary 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 W BNC coaxial cable to connect the AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform
Generator 1/4 CLOCK OUT connector to the input A connector on the
frequency counter.
2. Use a 50 W BNC coaxial cable to connect the AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform
Generator 10 MHz REF IN connector to the function generator output
connector (see Figure B–28).
