Three 75 Ω BNC cables
Thr
ee 75 Ω terminators
Procedure.
1. Install the module into the TG8000 mainframe. (See page 1-11.)
2. Power on the TG8000 mainframe by connecting it to the power source. The

CH 3 connectors to the CH A, CH B,andCH C inputs of the waveform
monitor respectively.
9. Use the 75 Ω terminators to terminate the other loop-through connectors
on the waveform monitor real panel.
10. Press the CH A button on the waveform monitor, and set the waveform
monitor to view the signal.
