3.9 Coupling between Channels
This example shows how the two channels can be coupled, so that the
instrument behaves like a 2 channel instrument with only one timebase. In
this mode, the frequency and phase of both the channels are locked. Locking
the output frequency and phase of both channels does have a noticeable
effect on most of the major operations modes. Therefore, as a result of
coupling, the output function, and all other parameters like, burst, sweep,
and modulation are also kept identical on both channels.
Refer to the 81150A and 81160A User Guide for more information.
Let’s set different values for different parameters on both channels
one-by-one, and enable coupling.
3.9.1 Settings for Channel 1
Selecting a Pulse
waveform
To set the operating mode and trigger mode as required, do the following:
Ensure that the Ch 1 key is selected.
Before setting any values, press the Store/Recall key and press the
Set to Defaults softkey.
The Continuous trigger mode is enabled by default. Therefore, we do
not change it. Now, we only need to select a Pulse waveform.
To select a Pulse waveform, simply press the Pulse key given on the
Front Panel.
Selecting the
Frequency and
Delay
By default, the Frequency is already set to 1 MHz, and the Delay to
0 seconds, therefore we do not change these values.
