Test the TTL threshold

In the Configuration menu, touch Configuration, then touch Format. In the Format
menu, touch the field to the right of Pod 1, then select TTL.

On the function generator front panel, enter 1.647 V

1 mV DC offset. Use the

multimeter to verify the voltage.

The activity indicators for Pod 1 should show all data channels and the J-clock channel at a
logic high.

Using the Modify down arrow on the function generator, decrease offset voltage in
1-mV increments until all activity indicators for Pod 1 show the channels at a logic
low. Record the function generator voltage in the performance test record.
