AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual B-67
Do the following steps to set the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator controls
and to select the waveform file:
1. Push UTILITY (front–panel)!System (bottom)!Factory Reset
(side)!OK (side).
2. Load the MODE.WFM file.
Refer to Loading Files on page B-62 for file loading procedures.
3. Push the RUN and CH1 output buttons.
The LEDs above the RUN button and CH1 output connectors are on.
4. Check that the amplitude of the sine wave displayed on the oscilloscope is 5
vertical divisions and that a waveform of approximately one cycle per 2.5
horizontal divisions is displayed.
Check Triggered Mode
The following table lists the equipment and prerequisites required to check the
Triggered mode.
Do the following steps to install the test hookup and set the test equipment controls:
1. Use a 50 Ω BNC coaxial cable and a BNC–T adapter to connect the function
generator output connector to the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator
TRIG IN connector. Refer to Figure B-40.
2. Connect a second 50
Ω BNC coaxial cable to the BNC–T adapter. Connect the
opposite end of the coaxial cable to the oscilloscope CH2 input.
3. Use a 50 Ω
SMA coaxial cable and SMA(Fe)–BNC(Ma) adapter to connect the
AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator CH1 output connector to the
oscilloscope CH1 input connector.
