1 Introduction
M8198A Front Panel Connectors
Table 8 M8198A Front Panel Connectors
The M8198A AWG is controlled by the M8070B software system version
10.5 and above, which includes a free version of a MATLAB-based utility
named ‘IQTools’. IQTools provides a large number of utilities to generate
waveforms along with an option to download user-defined waveforms. The
IQTools utility also supports “in-system calibration” to measure and
compensate the frequency and phase response of the AWG and any
external circuitry. It can compensate skew between all channels.
This device is ESD-sensitive when operated. The electrostatic discharge
to any part of the module or chassis may cause timing alignment issues
of the channels, which can be mitigated by toggling the sample rate.
Therefore, take necessary anti-static precautions, such as wearing a
grounded wrist strap, to minimize the possibility of electrostatic damage.
Connector Description
Channel 1 Data Out and Data Out Differential AWG data outputs (1.85 mm female connectors) for Channel 1.
Channel 2 Data Out and Data Out Differential AWG data outputs (1.85 mm female connectors) for Channel 2.
CH 1 Clk In Channel 1 sample clock input, connect to Sample Clock Out 1 of the M8008A
clock module.
Note: Do not connect to Sample Clock Out 2 of the M8008A.
CH 2 Clk In Channel 2 sample clock input, connect to Sample Clock Out 1 of the M8008A
clock module.
Note: Do not connect to Sample Clock Out 2 of the M8008A.
Sync In Used for Channel synchronization. The Sync Out of the M8008A module is
connected to the Sync In of the M8198A.
