Arithmetic Operation Checks
Check External AM
Operation
C 22
H Select Start within the Sync frame at the bottom menu.
3. Turn on the AWG2021 CH1 output: If the LED above the CH1 output
connector is not on, push the CH1 button.
4. Check autostep mode: Push the AWG2021 MANUAL TRIGGER button,
and check that the oscilloscope momentarily displays one sine wave cycle
with a different frequency and amplitude each time you push and release the
button.
5. End procedure: Disconnect the oscilloscope.
These procedures check operation of external AM. For an AWG2021 with
Option 02, they check internal AM and internal Add arithmetic functions.
NOTE. The arithmetic operation checks are structured as a continuous series of
tests. After Check External AM Operation, each test uses the control settings
from the last test and uses the next step in the sequence file.

Characteristic Checked
Equipment Required
Prerequisites
1. Install test hookup and set test equipment controls:
a. Hook up DMM: Connect the AWG2021 CH1 output through a coaxial
cable, the 50 W terminator, and BNC-to-dual banana connector to the
DMM INPUT connector.
b. Hook up function generator: Connect the AWG2021 rear-panel AM IN
input through a coaxial cable to the function generator output (see
Figure C-11).
External amplitude modulation, page B 9.
Two 50 W coaxial cables, a 50 W terminator, a function
generator, and a digital multimeter (DMM).
The AWG2021 meets the prerequisites listed on page C 5.
