We are trying to connect a DSP system, that supplies a 28 V(DC) voltage, to a function generator (33500B series). However, as soon as we connect the cable, a warning displaying “* Channel Overload *” pops-up. What could be causing the problem, since the input maximum to the waveform generator is /- 42 Vpk? Thank you in advance!
Hi,
I took a look at the 33500B data sheet and can't find any inputs that will accept 28 Volts.
It sounds like you are over driving the input. I wonder if the figure on the data sheet is misleading in that it appears to show the Sync BNC labeled 42 V. I wonder if this is really 4.2 V?
Hope this helps
Pete
