Any adjustment, maintenance, or repair of this
product must be performed by qualified personnel.
Contact your customer engineer through your local
@Znh^\]i Technologies Service Center. You can find
a list of local service representatives on the Web at: Do Not Remove the Instrument Cover
Operating personnel must not remove instrument
covers. Component replacement and internal
adjustments must be made only by qualified
personnel.
Instruments that appear damaged or defective
should be made inoperative and secured against

qualified service personnel.
General Safety Precautions
The following general safety precautions must be
observed during all phases of operation of this
instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions
or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual
violates safety standards of design, manufacture,
and intended use of the instrument.
@Znh^\]i Technologies Inc. assumes no liability
forthe customer's failure to comply with these
requirements.
Before operation, review the instrument and manual
for safety markings and instructions. You must
follow these to ensure safe operation and to
maintain the instrument in safe condition.
General
This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument
(provided with a protective earth terminal).The
protective features of this product may be
impaired if it is used in a manner not specified in
the operation instructions.
All Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) used in this
product are Class 1 LEDs as per IEC 60825-1.
This instrument is intended for indoor use in an
installation category II, pollution degree
2 environment. It is designed to operate at a
maximum relative humidity of 95% and at altitudes
of up to 2000 meters.
Refer to the specifications tables for the ac mains
voltage requirements and ambient operating
temperature range.
Environmental Conditions
Before Applying Power
Verify that all safety precautions are taken.
The power cable inlet of the instrument
serves as a device to disconnect fromthe
mains in case of hazard.
The instrument must be positioned so that
the operator can easily access the power
cable inlet. When the instrument is rack-
mounted the rack must be provided with
an easily accessible mains switch.
General operation advises the mains supply
voltage fluctuations are not to exceed 10%
of nominal supply voltage
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis
and cover must be connected to an electrical
protective earth ground. The instrument must be
connected to the ac power mains through a
grounded power cable, with the ground wire firmly
connected to an electrical ground (safety ground)
at the power outlet. Any interruption of the
protective (grounding) conductor or disconnection
of the protective earth terminal will cause a
potential shock hazard that could result in
personal injury.
Ground the Instrument
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of
flammable gases or fumes.

Installing the @Znh^\]i 81133A and 81134A
Check if the @Znh^\]i 81133A or 81134A shipping
containercontains the following standard deliverables:
If the contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage, or if the
instrument does not work within its specifications, notify the nearest
@Znh^\]i office. The @Znh^\]i office will arrange for repair or
replacementwithout awaiting settlement.
Once you have plugged in the instrument, you can start using it.
Make sure you keep the ventilation holes free wherever you install
the instrument.
The USB interface will be supported starting spring 2003.
Please visit our Web page for a free update of the firmware.
Please refer to the User Guide delivered on the
Product CD if you need more information about
working with the instrument.

Getting Started with the @Znh^\]i 81133A and 81134A
Now that you have unpacked the instrument and plugged it in,
let´s take a look at the main elements of the front panel.
Switch on the instrument. You can immediately start playing with the settings.
Start by pressing the tab keys. You see that only the lower part of the panel page
changes. You can switch between five panel pages, which allow you to set
parameters for different instrument settings.
The parameters at the upper part of the panel page are valid for the whole instrument.

Changing Parameters
The navigation knob makes it easy to move through
and set the parameters.
Rotate the navigation knob
to move from one parameter
to the next.
Let’s select a parameter
from a selection list.
Press the navigation knob
to open the selection list
(like clicking
with the mouse).
Rotate the navigation knob
to scroll through the list.
Select an item by pressing
the navigation knob.
You have three options for using the navigation knob.
rotate press and rotatepress 5

Changing Parameters
Now let´s change a number field
Press the navigation knob
once to focus at the
number field.
Turn the navigation knob
to set the number
Release the navigation knob.
Now when you rotate it,
the number changes.
Press the navigation knob
once when you are done.
You can also:

When you rotate the navigation knob
the value changes. You can do this in run time.
It let’s you immediately see the changes on a scope.
Press the navigation knob
once when you are done.
Press and rotate the
navigation knob to
select the digit.You can also press the
arrows next to the navigation knob.
Use the arrows next the
navigation knob
to select a digit.
Enter a value
with the key pad.
Or, to change one digit

Setting Up a Data Pattern
Imagine, you have designed a new digital circuit with ECL logic and
3.3 GHz clock, and you want to check its correct behavior.
To test it, you decide to simulate a 32-bit pattern signal with NRZ
data output format:
7
11110011100110010010100100000000
Now let’s set the instrument parameters
Whenever you change a parameter, the generated signal immediately changes.
To protect your DUT, make sure you disconnect the channel outputs first.
Do this by pressing the softkey next the following function:
Protect the DUT
The open contactor shows you
that your DUT is now disconnected
First, disconnect the outputs
to protect the DUT
Select the Unit
Choose the Pulse/Pattern Mode

Fast rise times, low jitter
and full parameter flexibility
Full signal manipulation
Predefined Levels
When timing is critical, the 81133/34A’s
fast rise times, the low jitter and full parameter
flexibility make it an ideal pulse,
clock and data source.
You can evaluate the performance of a device
in eye diagram measurements with PRBS
from 2 -1 to 2 -1.
531
You can add jitter to clock or data signals
with the and deform the
eye with the
Delay Control Input
Variable Crossover Point.
You can use the predefined levels
to easily set up channels for commonly
used logic families. These are:
ECL, LVPECL, LVDS.
The @Znh^\]i 81133A and 81134A Pulse/Pattern Generators are high-
end,easy-to-use tools for generating pulses, patterns and data at speeds
up to 3.35 MHz. They are ideal instruments for testing logic devices
(for example, ECL, LVPECL, LVDS) and other digital devices with
clock rates from 15 MHz to 3.35 GHz.
You can use the Pulse/Pattern Generators for applications where timing and
performance are critical and full control over signal jitter is required.
The instruments are ideal data and pattern sources for eye diagram
measurements.
Your advantages are
Data can be 8 kB of pattern memory
You can create large data patterns
with 8 kB of pattern memory.

Requirements and Possibilities for Remote Control
11
Using the Pulse Generator's Remote Control Interfaces
You can integrate the Pulse Generator in your production environment.
Its remote programming interfaces (USB, LAN, GPIB) allow you to set up
extensive tests that involve several instruments.
The accompanying @Znh^\]i I/O Libraries for instrument control must be
installed on the controlling PC.
It is possible that your Generator’s firmware is not set up for USB.
USB functionality will be included in a later release of the firmware.
Check the @Znh^\]i Web page for update information.
For detailed information on how to connect the instrument
physically to your external PC, and what you have to do to talk
to the instrument, please refer to the Programming Guide
delivered on the Product CD.
