TDS7104 & TDS7054 Service Manual
NOTE. The sine wave generator output amplitude must be leveled to within
0.35 db of the reference frequency (10 MHz) through the bandwidth frequency
listed in Table 4--7 on page 4--46. The 0.35 db requirement is necessary to ensure
a bandwidth that meets Tektronix specifications.
You can perform bandwidth PV using an unleveled sine wave generator (with
amplitude error > 0.35 db). Under these conditions, the bandwidth PV is subject
to the flatness errors associated with the generator used.
Refer to the Sine Wave Generator Leveling Procedure on page 4--81 if your sine
wave generator does not have automatic output amplitude leveling.
c. Hook up the test-signal source: Connect the sine wave output of a
leveled sine wave generator to CH 1. Set the output of the generator to a
reference frequency of 10 MHz or less. See Figure 4--18.
For the optional setup using a leveled s ine wave generator with a
leveling head, see F igure 4--19 and, if using this optional setup with the
example Tektronix SG 504, set the generator output to 6 MHz.
