Figure 24: Input resistance test hookup, ≥4 GHz models
1. Install the test hookup and preset the instrument controls:
a. Initialize the instrument: Press the Default Setup button.
b. Short the cable from the multimeter by connecting a shorting adapter and
SMA-to-SMA adapter to the BNC-to-SMA adapter.
c. Read and record the resistance of the multimeter leads.
d. Hook up the test-signal source: Connect, through a 50 Ω precision
coaxial cable, the input of the multimeter to Ch 1 through adapters. (See
Figure 24: Input resistance test hookup, ≥4 GHz models on page 238.)
e. Set the Vertical Scale to 10 mV (6.25 mv for >20 GHz models) per
division
2. Check input impedance against limits:
a. Measure the impedance: Read and record the measured impedance.
b. Remove the dual banana connector from the digital multimeter (DMM),
turn it 180 degrees and reinsert it in the DMM input.
c. Measure the impedance: Read and record the measured impedance.
d. Add the two measurements and divide the result by 2.
e. Subtract the resistance of the multimeter leads from the average that you
calculated.
f. Enter the result on the test record.
