Hi
I couldn't find a forum on test equipment so I will post here.
I'm new to electronics and I recently bought an signal generator for my bench.
I'm reading the manual and it mentions that I have to terminate the coaxial cable into a 50 ohm through-termination.
It really go into details why. When they say terminated, I'm assuming that I don't put it at the signal generator end of the cable? Or do I? Is this required for me to start using this thing?
In particular it states this in the context of wanting to achieve an exact square-shaped signal.
Anybody know about this?
David.
