CABLE EQUALIZATION OPERATION
With the cable equalizer
EQCTRL
POT set fully counter-clockwise, the cable equalizer will be set to the
"zero length". As you turn the POT clockwise, more cable equalization is added. To set the POT to the
correct position, perform the following calibration:
1. Supply the cable being equalized with a multiburst or horizontal sweep test signal.
2. Make sure the driving level from the test generator is calibrated to unity.
3. Set the cable type termination jumper (J6) to the type of cable you are using (either 8281 or 1694). If
you are using a different type, then use either setting.
4. Make sure the card input termination and the test gear is terminated properly.
5. Adjust the DC level if the clamp is enabled and calibrate the GAIN level POT for unity output at low
frequencies.
6. Adjust the "EQCTRL" POT until the 500ADA output signal has flat frequency response.

LOW PASS FILTER SELECTION
The jumper J9 allows the user to select whether the signal bypasses the low pass filter or not. The low
pass filter has a corner frequency of 8MHz with the end of the passband at 8MHz.
