One precision 50 Ω coaxial cables (Item 4)
Equipment
required
One sine-wave generator (Item 12)
One TCA-BNC or TCA-SMA adapter (item 20)
Prerequisites
See page 4- - 1. Also, the oscilloscope must have passed Check DC
Voltage Measurement Accuracy on page 4- - 13.
1. Install the test hookup and preset the instrument controls:
Sine-wave
generator
Figure 4- 27: Initial test hookup
a. Hook Up the test-signal source (see Figure 4- -27):
H Connect the sine wave output of the sine-wave generator through a
50
precision coaxial cable to CH 1 through an adapter.
H Set the sine-wave generator to output a 433 MHz sine wave.
b. Initialize the instrument: Press the DEFAULT SETUP button.
c. Modify the initialized front-panel control settings:
H Set the vertical SCALE to 50 mV per division.
H Set the horizontal SCALE to 2.5 ns per division.
H Adjust the sine-wave generator output for 4 divisions of amplitude
centered on the display.
