Procedure to Check Prescaler Triggering
ăStep 1:ăInstall the SDĆ24 Sampling Head into the CH 1/CH 2 slot of the
mainframe. Set the ON/STANDBY switch to ON and let the instrument
warm up for approximately 15 minutes. Initialize the mainframe settings,
then perform the following settings and steps.
ăStep 2:ăConnect the High Frequency Generator to the Picosecond
Pulse Labs (PSPL) 10X PickĆoff IN. Connect the PSPL 10 output to
Channel 1 of the Sampling Head.
