Performance Tests
This section contains a series of procedures for checking that the AWG2021
Arbitrary Waveform Generator performs as warranted.
The procedures are arranged in ten logical groupings, presented in the following
order:
H Operating Mode Checks
H Arithmetic Operation Checks
H Clock Frequency and Amplitude Checks
H Gain and Offset Accuracy Checks
H Pulse Response Check
H SYNC Out and MARKER Out Amplitude Checks
H External Trigger Level Accuracy Check
H External CLOCK IN Check
H ECL Digital Data Out Check (Option 03)
H TTL Digital Data Out Check (Option 04)
These procedures extend the confidence level provided by the internal diagnostic
and calibration routines described on page C-2.
These tests comprise an extensive, valid confirmation of performance and
functionality when the following requirements are met:
H You must have performed and passed the calibration procedure described in
Self Tests, the previous subsection.
NOTE. For operation to specified accuracy, allow the AWG2021 to warm up at
least 20 minutes before doing the performance tests.
H Load all the files from the Performance Check/Adjustment disk
(063-2171-XX) that comes with this manual into AWG2021 internal
