Performance Tests
This section contains a collection of procedures for checking that the AWG610
Arbitrary Waveform Generator performs as warranted.
The procedures are arranged in thirteen logical groupings, presented in the
following order:

The performance tests check all of the characteristics that are designated as
checked in Appendix A:Specifications. (The characteristic items that must be
checked are listed with the check mark (n) in Appendix A: Specifications).
. These procedures extend the confidence level provided by the basic
procedures described on page B–3. The basic procedures should be done first,
and then these procedures performed if desired.
