Auto Slice Test
Items Required
The following items are required:
Function generator
• Output amplitude resolution: 12 bits or more
• Memory length: 8192 points or more
• With arbitrary waveform generation function
• Recommended instrument: Synthesized function generator FG300
(YOKOGAWA)
The procedure for testing the auto slice using the recommended instrument is
described below.
Connecting the Instrument
• Check that the power switch is turned OFF on all instruments before connecting
them.
• Connect the output of the function generator to the RF input connector of the
TA120E.

• Speed (N): 6.2
• Gate: 0.1 s
• Trigger mode: MAN, AUTO
• Slice level: 0.000 V
• FG300
• Output frequency: 180.18 kHz
• Output voltage amplitude: 6 V
P-P
• Phase: 0.0 deg
• Offset voltage: 0.0 V
• Output attenuator: 1/10
• Output waveform: Arbitrary waveform A1
• Arbitrary waveform data: Read SLICE.WVF into A1.
(Arbitrary waveform data SLICE.WVF can be downloaded from the URL below.
If you set the loaded SLICE.WVF to a frequency of 180.18 kHz, a waveform with
a gradual rising slope with a duty cycle of approximately 40% and a frequency of
4.5 MHz is achieved.
