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 SINE.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 harmonics and noise level:
a. Check harmonics level: Check that the harmonics level of the spectrum
displayed on the spectrum analyzer from 0 Hz to 400 MHz is –50 dBc or
less.
b. Check noise level: Check that the noise level of the spectrum displayed
on the spectrum analyzer from 0 Hz to 400 MHz is –53 dBc or less.
5. Check CH2: Repeat the Sine Wave Tests for the AWG520 CH2, depending
on the instrument that you are currently testing.
6. End procedure: Disconnect the spectrum analyzer.
