Making a Measurement
AG-100™ Setup
On the back of the instrument:
• Ensure AC power cable is connected.
• Connect the AG-100 to the SIA-3000™ with a standard GPIB cable.
• Check the GPIB address on the pushwheels. The SIA-3000 defaults to ‘07’ as an expected address.
The pushwheel switch setting must match the GPIB address in the SIA-3000. If you need to change
the address, go to the Edit, Configuration menu on the SIA-3000 and select AG-100 from the pull
down. Then select the address that is set on the pushwheel switches on the back of the AG-100.
On the front of the instrument:
• Ensure that the “Operation Mode” switch is in the “Remote” position.
• Connect the Data Signal to the “Pickoff IN”.
DO NOT exceed +/-1.9v to the “Pickoff IN”
If the signal is differential, use the Balun or a differential probe to convert to single-ended. Connect
the output of the balun or probe to the “Pickoff IN”. If the signal is less than 250mV p-p before the
pickoff, you should use an amplifier.
• The “Pickoff OUT” should be connected to the “Detect IN” using the hardline included with the AG-100.
• Connect the “Channel OUT” to a channel input on the SIA-3000.
• Connect the “Arm OUT” to a channel input on the SIA-3000.
