AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
Two types of Performance Verification procedures can be performed on this
product: Self Tests and Performance Tests. You may not need to perform all of these
procedures, depending on what you want to accomplish.
Verify that the AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator is operating
correctly by running the self tests which begin on page B-2.
Advantages: These procedures require minimal time to perform, require no
additional equipment, and test the internal hardware of the AWG710B
Arbitrary Waveform Generator.
If a more extensive confirmation of performance is desired, complete the self
test, and then do the performance test beginning on page B-6.
Advantages: These procedures add direct checking of warranted
specifications. They require more time to perform and suitable test equipment
is required. (Refer to Equipment Required on page B-7).
Throughout these procedures the following conventions apply:
Each test procedure uses the following general format:
