Chapter 4 Calibration Procedures

DC Output Adjustment

DC Output Adjustment

The function generator stores nine calibration constants related to

DC volts output. The constants are calculated from the adjustment value entered. The calibration constants are stored following completion of setup 59. No calibration constants are stored if the procedures are aborted at any other setup.

1Use a DMM to measure the function generator dcV output voltage for each setup in the following table. These adjustments use a HIGH Z output termination.

	Nominal Output

SETUP	DC Volts	Adjustment for:

50	- 8.0 Vdc	Negative offset gain
51	8.0 Vdc	Positive offset gain

52	0.0 Vdc	AM offset
53	0.0 Vdc	2 dB Pre-attenuator offset.

54	0.0 Vdc	4 dB Pre-attenuator offset.
55	0.0 Vdc	6 dB Pre-attenuator offset.

56	0.0 Vdc	8 dB Pre-attenuator offset.

57	0.0 Vdc	10 dB Pre-attenuator offset.

58	0.0 Vdc	12 dB Pre-attenuator offset.

59	0.0 Vdc	14 dB Pre-attenuator offset.

2Use the CALIBRATE menu to adjust the displayed output voltage at each setup to match the measured voltage and enter the value.

3Perform the DC Function Offset Verification procedures on page 57.
