￿erformance Tests

￿rerequisites

This subsection contains a series of procedures for checking that the AWG2005 Arbitrary Waveform Generator performs as warranted.

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

￿Operating Mode Checks

￿Arithmetic Operation Checks

￿Clock Frequency and Amplitude Checks

￿Gain Accuracy Check

￿Offset Accuracy Check

￿Pulse Response Check

￿MARKER OUT Amplitude Check

￿CONTROL SIG OUT Amplitude Check

￿External Trigger Level Accuracy Check

￿External CLOCK IN Check

￿Master-Slave Operation Check (Optional Check)

￿DIGITAL DATA OUT Check

These procedures extend the confidence level provided by the internal diagnostic and calibration routines described on page 4=3.

The tests in this subsection comprise an extensive, valid confirmation of performance and functionality, when the following requirements are met:

￿You must have performed and passed the calibration procedure de= scribed in Self Tests, the previous subsection.

NOTE

For operation to specified accuracy, allow the AWG2005 to warm up at least 20 minutes before doing the performance tests.

￿Load all the files from the Performance Check disk (063=1706=XX) that comes with this manual into AWG2005 internal memory. For instructions on loading files, see Loading Files on page<￿2=12 in the Instructions for Operation subsection in section 2.
