Step 5: Verify Operation of the M9703B Module

Perform a Verification of the M9703B (optional)

Requirements for Verification

The correct operation of the M9703B may be verified by the use of a simple
application which carries out several performance checks on a signal acquired from
an external Function Generator.

Required Hardware

An external signal source is required. Almost any sine wave or function generator
capable of generating a signal with an amplitude of 300 mV rms into 50 Ω at a
frequency of 1 MHz may be used.
Hardware
RF Analog Signal Generator
1x BNC - SMA cable
1x Keysight 1250-1476 Adaptor

Operational Verification Procedure

Do not exceed the maximum voltage level at the INPUT connector (±3.6 V DC)
1. Configure the RF Generator to produce a Sine signal with a Frequency of 1.0
MHz, an Amplitude of 300 mV rms (+2.55 dBm).
2. Connect the Signal Generator output to the IN 1 connector, and turn on the out-
put.
3. For Windows users, launch the AgMD2Verify utility from
Windows Start Menu > Keysight MD2 Digitizer > AgMD2Verify.
A command shell window will open.
Select the instrument PXI address, then Press any key to start the test.
For Linux users, the AgMD2Verify utility is installed by the md2-verify pack under
/usr/bin/AgMD2Verify. After installation, you can launch AgMD2Verify or
AgMD2Verify <PXI_address>, specifying the PXI address in case of multiple
instruments, e.g.:
22
