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: input
and output connectors, operating modes, output type, output
state, synchronization, filters and front panel indicators.
Input and Output
Connectors
The Model 3152A has 5 BNC connectors on its front panel: main
output, SYNC output, phase modulation input, external clock
input and the trigger/PLL input. The 3152A Front Panel is shown
in
Figure 1-2
.
Main Output
The main output connector outputs standard, user, and
sequenced waveforms. Output impedance of this output is 50
Ω
,
that is, the cable which is connected to this input should be
terminated with a 50
Ω
resistance. Output amplitude accuracy is
calibrated when connected to a 50
Ω
load. If the output is
connected to a different load resistance, determine the actual
amplitude from the resistance ratio of the internal 50
Ω
to the
load impedance. The output amplitude is doubled when the
output impedance is above 1M
Ω
.
SYNC Output
The SYNC Output generates a single TTL pulse for
synchronizing other instruments (i.e., an oscilloscope) to the
output waveform. The SYNC signal always appears at a fixed
point relative to the waveform. The SYNC output generates a
single point pulse for standard and arbitrary waveforms. The
location of the SYNC signal along the waveform is
programmable from point 2 to the last point on the waveform.
