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.

BASIC TEST ARRANGEMENT

1. Connect the pulse generator to a sampling oscilloscope as shown above. Note that:

a) The use of 60 dB attenuator at the sampling scope vertical input channel will 

insure a peak input signal to the sampling scope of less than 1 Volt. WARNING:
This model may provide a peak output power in excess of 6 kW. The peak 
power rating of the attenuator must exceed this limit. Factory tests are 
conducted using Midwest Microwave model ATT-0527-20-SMA-07 attenuators.

b) The TRIG output channel provides TTL level signals (approximately 0 and 

+3V). To avoid overdriving the TRIG input channel of some scopes, a 20 dB 
attenuator should be placed at the input to the scope trigger channel.

c) The bandwidth capability of components and instruments used to display the 

pulse generator output signal (attenuators, cables, connectors, etc.) should 
exceed 1 GHz.
