2. Set the AWG500–Series Waveform Generator controls and select the
waveform file:
a. Initialize the AWG500–Series Waveform Generator controls:
Push UTILITY (front–panel)
System (bottom)Factory Reset (side)OK (side).
b. Select the file: Load the PULSE.WFM as referring to the procedures on
page 4–15.
3. Turn on the AWG500–Series Waveform Generator CH1 output: Push the
RUN and CH1 OUT buttons so that the LEDs above the RUN button and
CH1 output connector light.
4. Check pulse response at 1 V amplitude:
a. Check rise time: Check that the rise time of the waveform displayed on
the oscilloscope from 10% to 90% point is equal to or less than 1.5 ns.
b. Check aberration:
Set oscilloscope sweep to 12.5 ns/div (or 20 ns/div).
Check that the aberration of the displayed waveform on the
oscilloscope screen is within ± 7 %.
c. Check flatness:
Set oscilloscope sweep to 200 ns/div.
Check that the flatness of the displayed waveform on the oscillo-
scope is within ± 3 % after 50 ns from the rising edge.
5. Check pulse response at 2 V amplitude:
a. Change the oscilloscope controls:
