OPERATIONAL CHECK
This section describes a sequence to confirm the basic operation of the instrument. It
should be performed after receiving the instrument. It is a useful learning exercise as
well.
Before proceeding with this procedure, finish reading this instruction manual
thoroughly. Then read the "Local Control" section of the "OP1B Interface Programming
Manual" thoroughly. The "Local Control" section describes the front panel controls used
in this operational check - in particular, the MOVE, CHANGE, and ADJUST controls.
1. Connect a cable from the SYNC OUT connector to the TRIG input of an
oscilloscope. Connect a 10W (or higher) 50Q load to the OUT connector and place
the scope probe across this load. Set the oscilloscope to trigger externally with the
vertical setting at 5 Volts/div and the horizontal setting at 1 us/div.
2. Turn on the AV-1011-C-OP1B. The main menu will appear on the LCD. (If nothing
appears, rotate the CONTRAST knob fully clockwise.)
3. Make sure that the HV switch on the rear panel is set to the "ON" position.
4. To set the AV-1011-C-OP1B to trigger from the internal clock at a PRF of 10 kHz:
a) The arrow pointer should be pointing at the frequency menu item. If it is not,
press the MOVE button until it is.
b) Press the CHANGE button. The frequency submenu will appear. Rotate the
ADJUST knob until the frequency is set at 10 kHz.
c) The arrow pointer should be pointing at the "Internal" choice. If it is not, press
MOVE until it is.
d) Press CHANGE to return to the main menu.
5. To set the delay to 1 ps:
a) Press the MOVE button until the arrow pointer is pointing at the delay menu
item.
b) Press the CHANGE button. The delay submenu will appear. Rotate the
ADJUST knob until the delay is set at 7 ps.
