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-E3-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 2 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:
