WGxx Arbitrary Waveform Generator First Steps
First Steps
This section describes the first turn-on of the arbitrary waveform generator
(AWG), the connection to a PC, gives important operation and safety hints as
well as a brief survey of the various features of the AWG.
Please read instructions carefully to avoid operating failures!
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the instrument, check for proper match of
line and instrument / power supply voltage and proper fuse type.
Inputs and Outputs of the AWG
On the front panel there are located the 50Ω-analog output (OUTPUT), the
sync output SYNC OUT, the frequency input FREQ IN to connect an external
clock signal and the AM/FM- modulation/trigger input.
analog (signal) output (OUTPUT):
external frequency input (FREQ IN):
sync output (SYNC OUT ):
amplitude: 0....20Vpp
(WG8xx: 0...14Vpp)
offset: -10V....10V
(WG8xx: -7V...7V)
42V maximum, for external clock signal
or as frequency measurement input.
TTL signal level,
rising edge / falling edge,
positive pulse / negative pulse,
for arbitrary mode: adjustable position
(allows triggering on a specific point of
programmed waveform)
modulation input (AM/FM ): +/-10V maximum, for amplitude or
frequency modulation of the output
signal, trigger input
The rear panel shows the serial interface connector (PC interface).
A standard 9-way link cable (female-female, crossed pairs) is required for
AWG-to-PC connection.
