6-123. Edge Abberation Verification
The following equipment is needed for this procedure:
• Tektronix 11801 oscilloscope with SD22/26 sampling head
• Output cable provided with the SC300
Before you begin this procedure, verify that the 5520A-SC300 is in the edge mode (the
Edge menu is displayed), and program it to output 1 V p-p @ 1 MHz. Press O to
activate the output.
Connect the Calibrator Mainframe to the oscilloscope as in Figure 6-22. Set the
oscilloscope vertical to 10 mV/div and horizontal to 1 ns/div. Set the oscilloscope to
look at the 90% point of the edge signal; use this point as the reference level. Set the
oscilloscope to look at the first 10 ns of the edge signal with the rising edge at the left
edge of the oscilloscope display.
With these settings, each vertical line on the oscilloscope represents a 1% aberration.
Determine that the SC300 falls within the typical specifications shown in Table 6-51.
