LW120 User Manual
WARNING
Do not remove instrument covers when operating or when
the power cord is connected to the mains.
Any adjustment, maintenance and repair of an opened, powered-on
instrument should be avoided as much as possible, but when
necessary, should be carried out only by a skilled person who is
aware of the hazard involved.
Supplied
Accessories
The instrument is supplied with an Instruction Manual. The manual
includes a disk with ArbExplorer for Windows 95/98/NT. Service
Manual and inter-instrument synchronization cables are available
upon request.
Specifications
Instrument specifications are listed in Appendix A. These
specifications are the performance standards or limits against which
the instrument is tested. Specifications apply under the following
conditions: output terminated into 50
Ω
after 30 minutes of warm up
time, and within a temperature range of 20
o
C to 30
o
C. Specifications
outside this range are degraded by 0.1% per
o
C.
Functional
Description
A detailed functional description is given in the following paragraphs.
The description is divided into logical groups: front and rear panel
connectors, operating modes, output type, output state, filters,
synchronization, and front panel indicators.
Front Panel
Connectors
The LW120 has 3 BNC connectors on its front panel: one main output
for each channel and one SYNC output. These connectors are
described below.
Channel 1 Output
The channel 1 output connector outputs fixed (standard) waveforms
to 50 MHz, user (arbitrary) and sequenced waveforms with sampling
clock to 100 MS/s. Output impedance is 50
Ω
, that is, the cable
connected to this output should be terminated with 50
Ω
. Output
amplitude accuracy is calibrated when connected to a 50
Ω
load. The
output amplitude is doubled when the output impedance is above 1
M
Ω
.
Channel 2 Output
The channel 2 output connector outputs fixed (standard) waveforms
to 50 MHz, user (arbitrary) and sequenced waveforms with sampling
clock to 100 MS/s. Output impedance is 50
Ω
, that is, the cable
connected to this output should be terminated with 50
Ω
. Output
