• Voltmeter
These EV kits are fully assembled and tested surface-
mount boards. Follow the steps below for board opera-
tion. Do not enable signal generators until all connec-
tions are completed:
1) Verify that no shunts are installed across jumpers
2) Verify that a shunt is installed across jumper JU4.
3) Verify that no shunt is installed across jumper JU5.
4) Synchronize the digital pattern generator (Agilent
5) Connect the clock signal generator to the CLK SMA
6) Verify that the digital pattern generator is pro-
