Appendix B: Performance Verification (AWG710)
B-58 AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
Push any bottom or menu button (other than UTILITY) to exit the diagnostic
screen.
Calibration
The instrument includes internal calibration routines that check electrical
characteristics such as offset, attenuations and filters. Perform calibration to adjust
internal calibration constants as necessary. This procedure describes how to do the
internal calibration.
Confirm that there is no output being performed by verifying that the RUN LED is
not on. If the LED is on, push the RUN button to turn it off.
Do the following steps to verify that the internal adjustments have passed:
1. Push UTILITY (front–panel)!Diag (bottom)! Execute Calibration (side).
This executes the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator calibration
routines automatically.
The internal calibration does an extensive verification of proper AWG710
Arbitrary Waveform Generator functions. While this verification progresses, the
message box displaying Executing Calibration appear on screen. When finished,
the resulting status will appear in the message box as shown in Figure B-36.
Equipment
required
None
Prerequisites
Power on the instrument and allow a 20 minute warmup period at an
ambient temperature between +20° C and +30° C before doing this
procedure.
NOTE. Some calibration items may fail if you start calibration while output is
being performed.
