Procedure to Check Prescaler Triggering

ăStep 1:ăInstall the SDĆ24 Sampling Head into the CH 1/CH 2 slot of the

mainframe. Set the ON/STANDBYswitch to ON and let the instrument

warm up for approximately 15 minutes. Initialize the mainframe settings,

then perform the following settings and steps.

ăStep 2:ăConnectthe High Frequency Generator to the Picosecond

Pulse Labs (PSPL) 10X PickĆoffIN. Connect the PSPL 10 output to

Channel 1 of the Sampling Head.
