Re: TG501 2ns & 1ns operation


 

Nope, not intended nor expected. But I don't expect to see the MARKER OUT output to be putting out anything while in 1ns mode. The 1ns output on the 1ns ONLY BNC is otherwise fine - as good as my equipment can make out.
The MARKER OUT should be pulled up by Q460, and I'm seeing a crappy 40mV ~2ns (500MHz) sine wave. I've taken a look at Q460. It's not socketed, so I'm not going to pull it at this point to check on a curve tracer. Not yet anyway. I would like to know what is expected. Am I right that it should be near +5v (minus a diode drop?)?

IIRC, the marker is labeled 2ns to (whatever), which makes me suspect
that there was never intended to be a marker out at 1 ns.? Haven't
looked at the output, though.

I guess my next question would be: is that horrible 40mV p2p signal coming out of the MARKER OUT "normal" in 1ns mode? Yuck.

I can see how mitigating coupling through the contacts of K450 could be challenging. But does this indicate any issues with Q460, CR468, or any other associated components and wiring? It seems that Q460 should be pulling MARKER OUT up.
