Test Follow this procedure to make the direct trigger sensitivity check:
1. Click the Meas tab.
2. Select Meas 1 .
3. Click the Source1 button.
4. Make sure the channel under test is selected in the Source tab
5. Click the Pulse button (Signal Type area).
6. Click Select Meas > Pulse – Amplitude > Amplitude .
7. Click Meas 2 .
8. Click the Source1 button.
9. In the Source tab, make sure the channel under test is selected and click the
Pulse Signal Type button.
10. Click Select Meas > Pulse – Timing > Frequency .
11. Adjust the synthesizer signal generator level until the amplitude measurement
readout on the instrument shows
100 mV .
12. Set the signal generator frequency to 100 MHz .
13. Adjust the Horizontal SCALE knob to display at least two full periods.
14. Verify that the frequency readout value is within 10% of the true value.
15. Set the signal generator frequency to each of the following values, adjust the
horizontal scale to the corresponding seconds/div setting, and repeat steps 13
and 14 :
800 MHz at 500 ps/div
1 GHz at 500 ps/div
2 GHz at 200 ps/div
3 GHz at 100 ps/div
