Trigger Input Tests
These procedures check the trigger level accuracy of the AWG710 Arbitrary
Waveform Generator.
Equipment
required
Two 50ĂW BNCĂcoaxial cables, aĂ50ĂW SMAĂcoaxial cable, ĂaĂSMA
(female)ĆBNC (male)Ăadapter,ĂaĂBNCĆTĂ(male to 2 females) adapter, a
function generator, and an oscilloscopeĂ(TDS784D).
Prerequisites The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator must meet the
prerequisites listed on page 4-8.
Do the following steps to install the test hookup and set the test equipment
controls:
1. Use a 50 W 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
50ăW BNC coaxial cable to the BNC-T adapter. Connect the opposite end of
the BNC cable to the CH2 input on the oscilloscope. Refer tp Figure 4–15.
