following configurations ar
e available.
•3 m
•5 m
• 1.5 m
• 2.4 m + connector adapter + 0.6 m
• 4.4 m + connector adapter + 0.6 m
Note: The connector adapter is used when r
outing th
e cable through the prober’s
connector panel.
• ALWG function: See Table 2-35.
• Trigger output
Level: TTL
Trigger width: 10 ns
Generated synchronously with ALWG waveform.
•Software
