Conduct M9210A Operational check (optional)
Conduct M9210A Operational check (optional)
Requirements for Verification
The M9210A is verified by using it to trigger on and visualize a signal from a Function Generator. The trigger
must be stable and the signal frequency and amplitude must correspond to that set on the generator.
Required Hardware
To verify that the module works requires an external signal source. Almost any sine wave or function generator
capable of generating a signal with a Peak-Peak Amplitude in the range 0.1-5 V at a frequency in the range 1-100
MHz can be used. The rest of this description will assume that an Agilent 33220A Function / Arbitrary Waveform
Generator (AWG) is available for this purpose.

Operational Verification Procedure
Do not exceed the maximum power level to the INPUT connector (0.5 W).
1. Launch the soft front panel (SFP). The calibration must successfully end as noted above.
2. Configure the AWG to produce a Sine signal with a Frequency of 1 MHz, an Amplitude of 800 mV pp , and
an Offset of 0 V.
3. Connect the AWG Output to the INPUT 1 connector, and turn on the Output.
4. Configure the SFP for the Oscilloscope Mode.
5. Disable Ch2 by clicking on the orange box to its left.
6. Select the Ch1 input and configure it for:
Trigger Level 1 – 0.0 V
l
Trigger Delay – 0.0
l
Timebase – 500 ns/Div
l
Segments – 1
l
Memory – 50000
l
Impedance - 50 Ω
l
7. Select the NORMAL Acquisition mode and the Waveform Display should be as shown below.
8. Verify that:
the waveform shown is stable from one acquisition to the next,
o
the voltage value at the Trigger is within 0.5 divisions of GND
o
the period of the signal is 2 divisions
o
the pk-pk amplitude is 8 ± 0.3 divisions
o
9. Connect the AWG to INPUT 2 and repeat steps 5-8 for Ch2 (use Ch1 in step 5 & Ch2 in step 6).
