B-66 AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
Operating Mode Tests
The following procedures verify the operation of the Cont, Triggered and Gated
modes.
Check Cont Mode
Do the following steps to install the test hookup and set the test equipment controls:
1. Use a 50
Ω SMA coaxial cable to connect the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform
Generator CH1 output connector to the oscilloscope CH1 input connector (see
Figure B-39).
Figure B-39: Cont mode initial test hookup
2. Set the oscilloscope controls as follows:
NOTE. When you output signal from the CH1 or CH1 OUTPUT, check that the
other OUTPUT ( CH1
or CH1 ) LED is off.
If the other OUTPUT LED is on, push the CH1
or CH1 OUT button to turn off the
output.
Equipment
required
A 50 Ω SMA coaxial cable, a SMA(Fe)–BNC(Ma) adapter and an
oscilloscope (TDS700).
