4-32
These procedures check the accuracy of the AWG500–Series Waveform
Generator normal waveform outputs; amplitude and offset.
NOTE. The amplitude and offset accuracy checks are structured as a continuous
test. After Check Amplitude Accuracy, the next test uses the control settings from
the last test and uses the next step in the sequence file.

required dual banana adapter, and a digital multimeter (DMM).
Prerequisites The instrument must meet the prerequisites listed on page 4-13.
1. Install the test hookup and set test equipment controls:
a. Hook up DMM: Connect the AWG500–Series Waveform Generator CH1
output through a 50 Ω BNC coaxial cable, a 50 Ω precision terminator,
and an adapter (BNC-to-dual banana) to the DMM input connector (see
Figure 4–10).
