d. Push the CH1
output button to turn on the CH1 LED.
e. Push the FORCE EVENT button.
12. Repeat steps 8 through step 10 for the AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform
Generator CH1
.
13. Push the CH1
output button to turn off the CH1 LED.

Check Pulse Rise Time
Do the following steps to install the test hookup and set the test equipment controls:
1. Use the 50 Ω SMA coaxial cable to connect the AWG710B Arbitrary
Waveform Generator CH1 output connector to the oscilloscope CH1 input
connector (see Figure B-11).
Figure B-11: Direct DA output pulse rise time initial test hookup
2. Set the oscilloscope controls as follows:
Equipment
required
A 50 Ω SMA coaxial cable and an oscilloscope (TDS820).
Prerequisites
The AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator must meet the
prerequisites listed on page B-7.
