Using the Instrument 3-11
Use the following sequence to start seeing waveforms on your
oscilloscope:
1. In the Output Control group, point and click on the Output
State On button, the button will change its shape and show a
red mark at its center, depicting an LED and designating the
output is on.
2. In the Sync Output group, point and click on the State On
button, the button will change its shape and show a red mark
at its center, depicting an LED and designating the Sync
output is on.
Note
Step 2 turns on the SYNC output only and is optional, in
case you want to synchronize your oscilloscope. This step
is not required to have a waveform generated from the
main output connector.
3. In the Output Control group, point and click on the Enable
Output State On button, the button will change its shape and
show a red mark at its center, depicting an LED and
designating the output enable is on.
Set your oscilloscope and observe the 3156B generates a sine
waveform with the following properties: Frequency is 1MHz, offset is
0V and amplitude is 5V. If your amplitude is off by a factor of 2, it could
only mean that the instrument has not been terminated properly. The
output of the 3156B is calibrated when the signal is applied to a load
impedance of 50
Ω
and therefore either add a feedthrough terminating
resistor or modify your oscilloscope setting to have 50
Ω
termination.
Tip
When the Output State is off, the front-panel channel 1 and
2 OUT connectors are disconnected from the electrical
circuit by a mechanical relay. This is the default state of
the 3156B after power is applied to the instrument and is
designed this way for safety reason, to block low
impedance path to the outside connector. An Enable
command or external trigger is required to start generating
waveforms. Table 3-2 lists the available enable source for
the various run modes of the instrument
If you want to change the amplitude and/or offset of the signal, do the
