    Recommended adjustment Whatever verification interval you select, Keithley Instruments recommends that complete readjustment should always be performed at the verification interval. This will assure that the Keithley Instruments 3390 will remain within specification for the next verification interval. This criterion for readjustment best provides long-term stability.

    Section 1: Verification procedures 3390 50 kHz Arbitrary Waveform / Function Generator Verification and Adjustment Manual Checking 0 dB range flatness This test checks the high frequency AC amplitude flatness above 100 KHz on the 0 dB attenuator range. Flatness is relative to 1 KHz.
  • Page 14 This sets the power meter to directly read the flatness error specification relative to 1 KHz. 100 KHz_0dB_offset is calculated on the Amplitude and Flatness Verification Worksheet. 5. Set the 3390 to each output described in the following table and measure the output amplitude with the power meter (the relative measurement in dB.)
