Appendix B: Performance Verification (AWG710B)
B-6 AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
Performance Tests
This section contains a collection of procedures for checking that the AWG710B
Arbitrary Waveform Generator performs as warranted.
The procedures are arranged in eight logical groupings, presented in the following
order:
The performance tests check all of the characteristics that are designated as
checked in Appendix A:Specifications. (The characteristic items that must be
checked are listed with the check mark (n) in Appendix A: Specifications).

NOTE. These procedures extend the confidence level provided by the basic
procedures described on page B-2. The basic procedures should be done first, and
then these procedures performed if desired.
