Rise Time - Tektronix P5200 Instruction Manual

Performance Verification

Rise Time

1. Configure the fast rise output of the generator for a 50 Ω load
(AUX, rise, 50 Ω load, rising edge).
WARNING.
do not touch exposed metal parts after the generator output is enabled.
2. Attach a 50 Ω terminator to the generator fast-rise output and attach
the modified BNC adapter to the terminator.
3. Set the generator for fast rise (<3 ns), 100 kHz, 1 V.
4. Set the oscilloscope vertical to 5 mV/div and the horizontal to
20 ns/div or 25 µs/div, depending on the slope).
5. Set the probe range to
6. Attach the differential probe input leads (without attachment
accessories) by sliding the banana plug of the leads onto the binding
posts metal sleeves on the modified BNC adapter. (See Figure 7 on
page 25.) Enable the output of the generator.
7. Check that the rise time is <14 ns between the 10% and 90% points
of the displayed pulse.
8. Reduce the amplitude on the generator to minimum, then disable
the generator output and disconnect the setup.
