Trigger Input Tests
These procedures check the trigger level accuracy of the AWG710 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 AWG710 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 AWG710. Connect a 50 Ω BNC
coaxial cable to the BNC–T adapter. Connect the opposite end of the BNC
cable to the CH2 input on the oscilloscope.

3. Set the oscilloscope controls as fol lows:
Equipment
required
Two 50 Ω BNC coaxial cables, a 50 Ω SMA coaxial cable, a
SMA(Fe)–BNC(Ma) adapter, a BNC–T (male to 2 females) adapter, a
function generator, and an oscilloscope (TDS700).
Prerequisites The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator must meet the prerequisites
listed on page B-61.
