CAUTION. Operating the instrument on an incorrect line voltage can cause

damage, possibly voiding the warranty. To avoid this, operate the instrument with the correct line voltage.

The instrument operates from a single-phase line voltage listed in the following table. Line voltage and line frequency are automatically sensed; there are no switches to set. Check to ensure the operating voltage in your area is compatible.

with grounded outlets. When proper connections are made, the instrument chassis is connected to power line ground through the ground wire in the power cord providing protection against electric shock.

Ventilation

The unit has fans in the rear, as well as cooling vents on the bottom and side panels to keep it from overheating.

CAUTION. Inadequate ventilation can damage the instrument; to avoid damaging

the instrument, observe the following precautions:

Do not block the c ooling vents.

Do not position any devices adjacent to the instrument that force air (heated or unheated) into or onto the instrument surfaces or cooling vents. This additional

irﬂow could compromise performance.

When rack mounting the instrument, ensure there is adequate airﬂow around the instrument rear, sides, and bottom to ensure proper cooling. Adequate airﬂow enables air temperatures within approximately one inch of the instrument surfaces to remain within speciﬁed limits under all operating conditions.

cl <20 Gb/s are used, the internal clock will operate at a multiple of the data rate and bit-stretching is used to produce data at the speciﬁed rate.

The /2 clock output reﬂects one half of the data rate; there is one full clock cycle per two bits of data. The clock output is AC coupled and the amplitude is ﬁxed. The internal clock actually operates over a range of 20 GHz to 40 GHz. When data rates <20 Gb/s are used, the internal clock will operate at a multiple of the data rate and bit-stretching is used to produce data at the speciﬁed rate. The user interface will indicate the /2 clock rate for this case. A built-in clock divider can be used to divide the internal clock before it is sent to the /n clock output (divisors of 1,2,4,8,16).

Parameters <start address>,<bit count>,<data>

Value Coupling

Default Default data is a 1 in position 1, all other bits are 0 .

Description

Example

Tern:DATA

Set & Query

<start address> is numeric, and is the bit number in pattern data memory of the ﬁrst bit to write.

<bit count> is the number of bits to write into pattern data memory.

<data> is an arbitrary block of program data as deﬁned in IEEE-488.2-1992, section 7.7.6.2. It starts with a "#" character, followed by a single character representing the length of the length, then 1 to 5 characters specifying the length as a decimal number, then the program data.

None

Programs the pattern data memory. Each byte of pattern data is a character (0 or 1) representing one bit of pattern data. The start address can be any bit location, 1 – <max address>. <max address> is > is 4,194,304. The bit count can be any number 1 – 1024. The entire pattern data memory is accessible for reads or writes, even outside the range of the current pattern length setting. The bit count parameter and the length of the data block must match. (<start address> + <bit c ount>) must be ≤ (<max address> + 1).

:DIG:PATT:DATA 1,16,#216010000 01 01 01 001 0

This command does the following:

Starts loading the Ch 1 data into bit location 1. Speciﬁes that 16 bits of data will be loaded. In the <data>:

#: signiﬁes the beginning of the block 2: indicates that the length of the data length is two characters 16: indicates that data length is 16 bytes. (16 ASCII characters) 0100000101010010: is the character representation of the data

Thus, bits 1 through 16 in the channel 1 pattern data memory will be set to 0100000101010010.

:DIG:PATT:DATA? 1,8

This query reads 8 bits of pattern data starting from address 1. Given the above pattern data memory contents, the response would be "#1801000001".

Parameters <start address>,<bit count>,<data>

Value Coupling

Default Default data is a 1 in position 1, all other bits are 0.

Description

Example

Tern:HDATa

Set & Query

<start address> is numeric, and is the bit number in pattern data memory of the ﬁrst bit to write.

<bit count> is the number of bits to write into pattern data memory.

<data> is an arbitrary block of program data as de ﬁ ned in IEEE-488.2-1992, section 7.7.6.2. It starts with a "#" character, followed by a single character representing the length of the length, then 1 to 5 characters specifying the length as a decimal number, then the program data.

None

Programs the pattern data memory using hexadecimal character format. Each byte of pattern data is a hexadecimal character (0-9, A-F or a-f) representing four bits of pattern data. The start address can be any bit location, 1 – <max address>. <max address> is 4,194,304. The bit count can be any number 1 – 4096. The entire pattern data memory is accessible for reads or writes, even outside the range of the current pattern length setting.

The bit count parameter must be equal to 4 times the length of the data block or up to 3 bits fewer. If it is fewer, then the extra bits in the last data byte are ignored. (<start address> + <bit count>) must be ≤ (<max address> + 1).

:DIG:PATT:HDAT 1,16,#144152

This command does the following:

Starts loading the Ch 1 data into bit location 1. Speciﬁes that 16 bits of data will be loaded. In the <data>:

#: signiﬁes the beginning of the block 1: indicates that the length of the data length is one character 4: indicates that data length is 4 bytes. (4 A SCII characters) 4152: is the c haracter representation of the data

Thus, bits 1 through 16 in the channel 1 pattern data memory will be set to 0100000101010010.

:DIG:PATT:HDAT? 1,8

This query reads 8 bits of pattern data starting from address 1. Given the above pattern data memory contents, the response would be "#1241".

Note that if the query requests a number of bits that is not a multiple of 4, s ome bits in the last byte will not be meaningful, and will be 0.

Preventive maintenance

Preventive maintenance mainly consists of periodic cleaning. Periodic cleaning reduces instrument breakdown and increases reliability. Clean the instrument as needed, based on the operating environment. Dirty conditions may require more frequent cleaning than computer room conditions.

Clean the ﬂat panel display

The ﬂat panel display is a soft plastic display a nd must be treated with care during cleaning.

CAUTION. Improper cleaning agents or methods can damage the ﬂat panel

display.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or commercial glass cleaners to clean the display surface.

Do not spray liquids directly on the display surface.

Do not scrub the display with excessive force.

Avoid getting moisture inside the instrument while cleaning the display; use only enough solution to dampen the wipe.

Clean the ﬂat panel display surface by gently rubbing the display with a cleanroom wipe (such as Wypall Medium Duty Wipes, #05701, available from Kimberly-Clark Corporation).

Clean the exterior surfaces

50 PPG4001 Pattern Generator User Manual

Clean the exterior surfaces with a dry, lint-free c loth or a soft-bristle brush. If dirt remains, use a cloth or swab dampened with a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution. A swab is useful for cleaning in narrow spaces around the controls and connectors. Do not u se abrasive compounds on any part of the instrument.

To avoid damaging the instrument follow these precautions:

Avoid getting moisture inside the instrument during external cleaning and use only enough solution to dampen the cloth or swab.

Do not wash the front-panel power switch. Cover the switch while washing the instrum ent.

Use only deionized water when cleaning. Use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution as a cleanser and rinse with deionized water.

Do not use chemical cleaning agents; they may damage the instrument. Avoid chemicals that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents.
