Resolution Test
Connect the pulse generator to a power
splitter.
Connect one side of the power splitter to
Input A on the counter using a coaxial ca-
ble.
Connect the other side of the power split-
ter to Input B on the counter.
Settings for the pulse generator:
Amplitude = 2 Vpp, (high level +2 V and
low level 0 V)
Period = approx. 1 ms
Duration = approx. 50 ns
Rise time = 2 ns
Restore the timer/counter's default settings
and make the following changes:
Function = Time A-B
Press STAT/PLOT key to the right of the
display.
Settings for INPUT A and INPUT B:
50
input impedance
MANual trigger level
Trig level = 0.5V
DC coupling
The standard deviation (Std) should be <100
ps (90 & 90XL) or <70 ps (91).
Rear Inputs/Outputs
10 MHz OUT
Connect an oscilloscope to the 10 MHz
output on the rear of the counter. Use a
coaxial cable and 50 termination.
The output voltage should be sinusoidal
and >1Vp-p, typically 1Vrms.
EXT REF FREQ IN
Recall the DEFAULT settings.
Connect a stable 10 MHz signal (e.g REF
OUT from another counter) to input A.
Connect a 10 MHz, 100 mV
RMS
, (0.28
VP-P) signal from the LF synthesizer to
EXT REF IN.
Select Ext Ref. by keying in the
following sequence:
SETTINGS Meas Ref External
The display should show 10 MHz.
Change the external reference frequency
to 5 and 1 MHz.
The counting should continue, and the
display should still show 10 MHz.
