User Manual 3153
Using The Instrument 3-2
Output
Termination
During use, output connectors must be properly terminated to minimize
signal reflection or power loss due to impedance mismatch. Proper
termination is also required for an accurate amplitude level at the main
output connector. Use 50
Ω
cables and terminate the main and SYNC
cables with terminating resistors. Always place the 50
Ω
termination at
the far end of the cables.
Input / Output
Protection
The Model 3153 provides protection for internal circuitry connected to
input and output connectors. Refer to the specifications in Appendix A
to determine the level of protection associated with each input or output
connector.
Power On/Reset
Defaults
At power-on or as a result of a software reset, the instrument defaults to some
factory pre-selected conditions. A complete list of all parameters, their default
values, as well as their maximum and minimum values is given in Chapter 4.
Use the following command to place the instrument in its default state:
RESet;
Using the IEEE-STD-488.2 common command *RST will have the same
result
