Procedure Steps:
("I Stepl: Check External Z-Axis Operation
a. Connect the leveled sine wave generator output via a 50 O cable
and a T-connector to the CH 1 OR X input connector Then connect
a 50 Q cable and a 50 Q termination from the T-connector to the EXT
Z-AXIS INPUT connector on the rear panel.
b. Set the generator to produce a 5 V, 50 kHz signal.
c. CHECK — For noticeable intensity modulation. The positive part of
the sine wave should be of lower intensity than the negative part.
