04 | Keysight | Using an External Trigger to Generate Pulses with the B2960A – Demo Guide
Setup
Connection
1. Connect the
black banana cable
of the U8201A to the B2960A’s
Ch1 Low Force
Terminal.
2. Connect the
red banana cable
of the U8201A to the B2960A’s
Ch1 High Force
Terminal.
3. Clip the
end of the 1.1 kΩ
resistor with the
black alligator clip
of the U8201A.
4. Clip the
other end of the 1.1 kΩ
resistor with the
red alligator clip
of the U8201A.
5. Probe across the
1.1 kΩ resistor
to monitor the output using the
oscilloscope’s Ch1
.
6. Connect the
Pin 9
of the B2960A’s Digital I/O Port to the
external trigger signal source
and
the oscilloscope’s Ch2 using the BNC cables, the N1294A-031, wiring, etc.
Oscilloscope setup
1. Set the
Ch1 vertical scale
to
500 mV/div
.
2. Set the
Ch2 vertical scale
to
5 V/div
.
3. Set the
horizontal scale
to
500 μs/div.
