HP Pulse Generator 8160A

Oct 03, 2005 1 Replies

Hey,



I have a puls generator mentioned above.



The settings for the impuls frequency and width and so on work fine but there is a problem. If I set the the impedance on 10kOhms I only get 4V amplitude instead of 19.99V and at 50 Ohm there is only 200mV instead of 9.99V. I have not found anything to change this behavior! Also there is shown an error message "PARAM" if I press the High Level (HIL) botton or the Low Level (LOL) botton. The DC-voltage is on the 0-line at about -7.5V and oscillate 300mV up and down.



If there is someone who knows what is wrong please let me know!



best regards Peter
