17. Connect splitter output 2 of the power sensor assembly to channel 1 of the PXIe-5172 and
repeat steps 3 through 14 for each configuration listed in the
table.
18. Disable the signal generator output.
19. Connect splitter output 2 of the power sensor assembly to channel 2 of the PXIe-5172 and
repeat steps 3 through 14 for each configuration listed in the
table.
20. Disable the signal generator output.
21. Connect splitter output 2 of the power sensor assembly to channel 3 of the PXIe-5172 and
repeat steps 3 through 14 for each configuration listed in the
table.
22. Disable the signal generator output.
Note
If you are verifying the PXIe-5172 (8CH), proceed to the next step. If
you are verifying the PXIe-5172 (4CH), 50 Ω Bandwidth Verification is
complete.

repeat steps 3 through 14 for each configuration listed in the
table.
24. Disable the signal generator output.
25. Connect splitter output 2 of the power sensor assembly to channel 5 of the PXIe-5172 and
repeat steps 3 through 14 for each configuration listed in the
table.
26. Disable the signal generator output.
27. Connect splitter output 2 of the power sensor assembly to channel 6 of the PXIe-5172 and
repeat steps 3 through 14 for each configuration listed in the
table.
28. Disable the signal generator output.
29. Connect splitter output 2 of the power sensor assembly to channel 7 of the PXIe-5172 and
repeat steps 3 through 14 for each configuration listed in the
table.
30. Disable the signal generator output.
Verifying 1 M
Ω
Bandwidth
Follow this procedure to verify the 1 MΩ analog bandwidth accuracy of the PXIe-5172 by
generating a sine wave and comparing the amplitude measured by the PXIe-5172 to the
amplitude measured by the power sensor.
Before performing this procedure, complete the
procedures and
calculate the
splitter balance
and
splitter loss
of your power splitter.
