Pulse generator tests
The 4200A-SCS includes the following user modules to run tests using a Keysight pulse generator:
• PguInit8110: Initialization: Disables the pulse generator output and returns it to a default setup
configuration.
• PguSetup8110: Set up pulse: Used to define the output pulse.
• PguTrigger8110: Trigger output: Used to specify the number of pulses and trigger the pulse
output process.
Details on the user modules for the Keysight pulse generator library are in HP8110ulib user library (on
page 7-5).
Signal connections
Basic signal connections for an output of the pulse generator is shown in the following figure. The
output LO is connected to the chassis of the pulse generator.
Figure 115: Basic pulse generator connections to DUT
Triaxial connections: Adapters are required to connect the pulse generator to equipment that uses
triaxial connectors (for example, the probe station, test fixture, and matrix card).
Probe station and test fixture connections: The following figure shows connections to a probe
station or a test fixture that is equipped with 3-slot triaxial connectors. The 7078-TRX-BNC is a 3-lug
triaxial to BNC adapter. As shown, connect the adapter to the 3-slot triaxial connector and then use a
7051-5 BNC cable to make the connection to the pulse generator. This figure also shows the
equivalent circuit for the adapter.
