Step 5: Verify Operation of the SA230P Card
Required Hardware
An external signal source is required. Almost any sine wave or function generator capable of
generating a signal with an amplitude of 300 mV rms into 50 Ω at a frequency of 1 MHz may be
used.
Hardware
Description
Signal Generator
e.g. Keysight N5181B
SMA cable
50 Ω Coaxial cable with SMA(m)
Operational Verification Procedure
Do not exceed the maximum voltage level at the input connector (± 3 V DC)
1. Configure the signal generator to produce a sinusoidal signal with a frequency of 1 MHz,
and an amplitude of 300 mV rms (+2.55 dBm).
2. Connect the signal generator output to the IN 1 connector, and turn on the output.
3. Launch the
AqMD3Verify
utility from:
Windows Start Menu > Acqiris > MD3 > AqMD3Verify
.
A command shell window will open.
Select the instrument PXI address, then
Press any key
to start the test.
4. Check that all the test results are OK.
