External Clock Input and VCO Out Output Tests
These procedures check the external clock input function and the VCO output
function of the AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator.
Do the following steps to install the test ho okup and set the t est equipment controls:
1. Use a 50 Ω SMA coaxial cable and an SMA(Fe)–BNC(Fe) adapter to connect
the AWG710B Arbitrary W a vefor m Generator VCO OUT output connecto r to
the oscilloscope CH1 input connector.
2. Use a 50 Ω SMA coaxial cable to connect the AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform
Generator EXT CLOCK IN input connector to the signal generator output
connector.

3. Set the oscilloscope controls as fol lows:
Equipment
required
Two 50 Ω SMA coaxial cables, a SMA(Fe)–BNC(Ma) adapter, a signal
generator, and an oscilloscope (TDS700).
Prerequisites The AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator must meet the
prerequisites listed on page B-7.
