Verifying System Operation
Verifying System Operation
Prior to verifying system operation, the N8241A software must be installed on the
PC and the LAN line connected to the PC and AWG module. For more information
refer to
“Installing the Software” on page 25
“Connecting to the AWG over the
.
System Set Up
1. Connect the power cord to the AWG module and turn the power on.
CAUTION
Before switching on this instrument, make sure the supply voltage is in the specified
range.
Waveform Generation
NOTE
An Agilent E4440A Spectrum Analyzer or equivalent is required to view the
waveforms.
1.
Connect the channel 1 positive (+) output to the spectrum analyzer RF input
connector.
2.
Open the user interface by double-clicking the
N8241A Control Utility
icon
placed on the desktop during installation.
3.
In the
Output
tab, configure the signal conditioning path to include the 500MHz
reconstruction filter through
CH1 OUT
(toggle the switches you want to
connect) on channel 1 and
CH2 OUT
on channel 2. The connection will
automatically
enable differential mode.
4. Click on the negative (-) node to enable single-ended mode. Notice that the
