Performance Verification
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.
NOTE. Some calibration items may fail if you start calibration while output is being performed.
Do the following steps to verify that the internal adjustments have passed:
1.Push UTILITY
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 appears on the screen. When finished, the resulting status will appear in the message box as shown in Figure 4±2.
