Performance Verification

Amplitude and Offset Accuracy Tests (Normal Out), (except option 02)

These procedures check the accuracy of the amplitude and offset outputs of the

AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator.

NOTE. The amplitude and offset accuracy checks are structured as a continuous test. The next test uses the control settings from the previous test and uses the next step in the sequence file.

NOTE. When you output signal from the CH1 or CH1 OUTPUT, check that the other OUTPUT ( CH1 or CH1 ) LED is off.

If the other OUTPUT LED is on, push the CH1 or CH1 OUT button to turn off the output.

Equipment

A 50-W BNC-coaxial cable, a 50-W-precision terminator, a-SMA

required

￿male￿.BNC ￿female￿-adapters, BNC ￿female￿.to.dual banana adapter,

 

and a digital multimeter ￿DMM￿.

 

 

Prerequisites

The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator must meet the

 

prerequisites listed on page￿4-8.

 

 

Do the following steps to install the test hookup and set the test equipment controls:

1.Use a 50 W BNC coaxial cable, a SMA(Ma)-BNC(Fe) adapter, a 50 W precision terminator, and a BNC-to-dual banana adapter to connect the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator CH1 output to the DMM input connector (see Figure 4±9).
