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 “Programming Manual for -B
Instruments” thoroughly. The “Local Control” section describes the front panel controls
used in this operational check - in particular, the MOVE, CHANGE, and ADJUST
controls.
A 50 Ohm load is
required
for proper operation. The output stage may be damaged if
the output is not terminated into a 50Ω load.
The AVR-E1-B output may be observed using either a high-speed sampling
oscilloscope, or a slower real-time oscilloscope. To accurately observe these rising and
falling edges, a sampling oscilloscope with a bandwidth of 10 GHz is required.
However, if the rising and falling edges do not need to be accurately observed, it may
be more convenient to use a real-time oscilloscope. The two basic test arrangements
are outlined in the figures below:
