Line Termination
Your instrument uses passive loop-through analog and reference inputs. Accordingly, the loopthrough inputs must be
terminated externally. It is important that this external termination m eets accuracy and return loss requirements. Terminations
for loop-throughs on SDI or reference connectors in end-of-link setups must be 75 Ω and DC coupled (good return loss
extends to DC). An appropriate termination would be a 75 Ω End of Line terminator, Tektronix part number 011-0163-XX.
