Trigger Input Tests
These procedures check the trigger level accuracy of the AWG710B Arbitrary
Waveform Generator.
Do the following steps to install the test hookup and set the test equipment controls:
1. Use a 50 Ω SMA coaxial cable and an SMA(Fe)–BNC(Fe) adapter to connect
the AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator CH1 output connector to the
oscilloscope CH1 input connector.
2. Use a BNC coaxial cable to connect the function generator to the BNC–T
adapter which goes to the Trigger Input on the AWG710B. Connect a 50 Ω
BNC coaxial cable to the BNC–T adapter.Connect the opposite end of the
BNC cable to the CH2 input on the oscilloscope.

3. Set the oscilloscope controls as follows:
Equipment
required
Two 50 Ω BNC coaxial cables, a 50 Ω SMA coaxial cable, a
SMA(Fe)–BNC(Ma) adapter, a BNC–T (male to 2 females) adapter, a
function generator, and an oscilloscope (TDS700).
Prerequisites
The AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator must meet the
prerequisites listed on page B-7.
