Application Examples
NOTE. Most v
ideo systems u se 75 ohm cabling. The oscilloscope inputs do not
properly terminate low impedance cabling. To avoid amplitude inaccuracy
from improper loading a nd reflections, place a 75 ohm feedthrough terminator
(Tektronix part number 011-0055-02 or equivalent) between the 75 ohm coaxial
cable from the signal source and the oscilloscope BNC input.
