Front-Panel Controls

1. CABLE: A female BNC connector for attaching a cable to the 1503C for

testing.

2. IMPEDANCE: A four-position rotary switch that selects the output impedance

of the cable test signal. Available settings are 50, 75, 93, and 125 Ohms. The
selected value is displayed above the control on the LCD.

3. NOISE FILTER: If the displayed waveform is noisy, the apparent noise can

be reduced by using noise averaging. Averaging settings are between 1 and 128.
The time for averaging is directly proportional to the averaging setting chosen.
A setting of 128 might take the instrument up to 35 seconds to acquire and
display a waveform. The first two positions on the NOISE FILTER control are
used for setting the vertical and horizontal reference points. The selected value
or function is displayed above the control on the LCD.

4. VERT SCALE: This control sets the vertical gain, displayed in dB, or the

vertical sensitivity, displayed in m

r

per division. Although the instrument

defaults to dB, you may choose the preferred mode from the Setup Menu. The
selected value is displayed above the control on the LCD.

5. DIST/DIV: Determines the number of feet (or meters) per division across the

display. The minimum setting is 1 ft/div (0.25 meters) and the maximum setting
is 5000 ft/div (1000 meters). The selected value is displayed above the control
on the LCD.
