External Clock Input Tests

These procedures check the External clock input function of the AWG500–Series

Waveform Generator.

Equipment

required

Two 50ĂΩ coaxial cables, an adapter (N male to BNC femal), a signal

generator, and an oscilloscope.

Prerequisites The AWG500-Series Waveform Generator meets the prerequisites

listed on page 4-13.

1. Install the test hookup and set test equipment controls:

a. Hook up the oscilloscope: Connect the AWG500–Series Waveform

Generator CH1 output connector through the coaxial cable to the

oscilloscope CH1 input connector (see Figure 4–30).

b. Hook up the function generator:

 Connect the AWG500–Series Waveform Generator EXT CLOCK

IN connector through a coaxial cable to the signal generator output

connector with a N–BNC adapter(see Figure 4–30).

Oscilloscope

Connect the cable to the EXT CLOCK IN connector through the

N-BNC adapter.

N-BNCĂĂ

Adapter

Connect the cable to the CH1

output connector on the front panel
