Performance Verification

Performance Tests

This subsection contains a collection of procedures for checking that the

AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator performs as warranted.

The procedures are arranged in eight logical groupings, presented in the following order:

The performance tests confirms all the characteristics that are designated as checked in Appendix A:Specifications. (The characteristic items that must be checked are listed with the check mark (n) in Appendix A: Specifications).

NOTE. These procedures extend the confidence level provided by the basic procedures described on page 4±3. The basic procedures should be done first, followed by the Performance Tests, if desired.
