6-66. Wave Generator Verification
This procedure uses the following equipment:
•
•
•
•
BNC (F) to
Double Banana
Adapter
For wave generation verification procedures, refer to Figure 6-13 for the proper setup
connections.
Set the Calibrator Mainframe to SCOPE mode, with the Wavegen menu on the display.
Press O on the Calibrator Mainframe to activate the output. Set the offset to 0 mV,
and the frequency to 1 kHz. Then follow these steps to verify the wave generator
function.
6-67. Verification at 1 M Ω
Set the Calibrator Mainframe impedance to 1 MΩ (The blue softkey under SCOPE Z
toggles the impedance between 50 Ω and 1 MΩ).
1. Connect the BNC cable to the Calibrator Mainframe's SCOPE connector. Connect
2. Set the 5790A to AUTORANGE, digital filter mode to FAST, restart fine, and Hi
3. Program the Calibrator Mainframe to output the wave type and voltage listed in
4. Allow the 5790A reading to stabilize, then record the 5790A rms reading for each
