Appendix B: Performance Characteristics
The performance characteristics on the AWG2021 can be divided into three
categories:
H Nominal Traits. General characteristics are described not by equipment
performance and limits but by such things as memory capacity.
H Warranted Characteristics. Warranted characteristics are described in terms of
quantifiable performance limits which are guaranteed.
H Typical Characteristics. Typical characteristics are described in terms of
typical or average performance for the AWG2021. The characteristics
described herein are not absolutely guaranteed.
Items marked with ** are tested in the Performance Verification (Appendix C)
Nominal Traits
This section will describe general characteristics of the AWG2021. These can be
divided into two main categories: electrical characteristics and mechanical
characteristics.

Operating Modes
Continuous Generates the waveform continuously.
Triggered Output quiescent until triggered by an external, GPIB or manual trigger; then
generates a waveform or sequence only one time.
Gated Same as triggered mode except periods are output for the duration of the gated
signal.
Burst Output quiescent until triggered by an external, GPIB or manual trigger; then
generates a waveform or sequence predefined count.
Waveform Advance Continuously generates the waveform in the predefined (edited) sequence and
the next trigger advances the waveform.
Autostep Outputs the first waveform in the predefined Autostep File once. The next
trigger advances to output the next waveform once and so on, for each
successive trigger.
