AWG710 Service Manual
1/4 Clock FrequencyĂandĂ10 MHz Reference Input Tests
These procedures check the 10 MHz reference input function of the AWG710
Arbitrary Waveform Generator .
Equipment
required
A 50ĂW SMA coaxial cable, A 50ĂW BNCĂcoaxial cable, aĂSMA(feĆ
male)ĆBNC(male)Ăadapter,Ăa frequency counter, and a function
generator.
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 SMA (Fe)-BNC (Ma) adapter to connect
the AWG710 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 AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform
Generator 10 MHz REF IN connector to the function generator output
connector (see Figure 4–28).
