Linearity (Peak Path)
Description
Linearity over the full input voltage range of the measurement path is warranted
to provide assurance of instrument accuracy. This test measures linearity by using
a calibration DAC and a calibration ADC (built into the DUT) to stimulate and
compare performance of the peak path against the measurement ADC, returning
the worst case percentage error.
Equipment
– No test equipment required
Test method
1 Execute the internal linearity measurement procedure for channel A.
2 Read back the result of the measurement from the DUT.
3 If the DUT model number is N1912A, then repeat this procedure for channel B.
4 The test will take a few minutes to complete.
5 The measurement result should be less than 0.8 and greater than –0.8. The
