Before Verification
This subsection describes the kind of verification procedures that can be followed, it indicates when to use the procedures, and gives conventions used in their structure. The procedures in this section are:
Self Tests
Performance Tests
These procedures verify the AWG2005 Arbitrary Waveform Generator func1 tionality. Which procedure to follow depends on your goal:
To quickly confirm that the AWG2005 functions correctly and was ad1 justed properly, do the procedures under Self Tests, which begin on page413.
Advantages: These procedures are short, require no external equip1 ment, and perform extensive functional and accuracy testing. Use them to quickly determine if the AWG2005 is suitable for putting into service, such as when it is first received.
For a more extensive confirmation of performance, do the Performance Tests, beginning on page 417 after doing the Self Tests.
Advantages: These procedures involve direct checking of warranted specifications. They require more time and suitable test equipment. (See Equipment Required on page 418.
Before starting any of these procedures, read Instructions for Operation in section 2 of this manual. These instructions briefly describe the AWG2005 front1panel controls and menu system. The user manual contains detailed information on operating the AWG2005.
Throughout the procedures in this section the following conventions apply:
