I conducted separate tests on the '5015' and '3010a'. When powered individually, the '5015' outputs a signal at 33.55 MHz with an amplitude of 608 mV. It draws 1 A of current from the power source. The input signal for the '3010a' is 33.54 MHz with an amplitude of 670 mV (peak-to-peak) and a 15 mV DC offset. The output signal from channel 1 is a 65.5 kHz square wave with an amplitude of 3.28 V. The '3010a' draws 0.1 A of current.

Both the '5015' and '3010a' work fine when powered separately. However, when both are powered together, the power source behaves as if there is a short circuit. The current theory is that the switch or breaker is tripping, as it has a 1 A current rating. Since the combined current demand of both devices exceeds 1 A, this may be causing the issue.
