Performance Verification

You can perform two types of Performance Verification procedures with this product: Self Tests and Performance Tests. You may not need to perform all these procedures, depending on what you want to accomplish.

￿Verify that the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator is operating correctly by running the self tests as described in the Self Tests subsection.

Advantages: These procedures require minimal time to perform, require no additional equipment, and test the internal hardware of the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator.

￿If a more extensive confirmation of performance is desired, complete the self test, and then do the performance test beginning on page 4±7.

Advantages: These procedures add direct checking of warranted specifica- tions. They require more time to perform and suitable test equipment is required. (Refer to Equipment Required on page 4±8).
