Appendix B: Performance Verification
B-8 AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
The tests in this section comprise an extensive, valid confirmation of perfor-
mance and functionality when the following requirements are met:
HThe cabinet must be installed on the instrument.
HYou must have performed and passed the procedures under Self Tests, found
on page B–3.
HThe waveform generator must have been recently adjusted at an ambient
temperature between +20_ C and +30_ C, must have been operating for a
warm-up period of at least 20 minutes, and must be operating at an ambient
temperature between +10_ C and +40_ C.
Refer to Conventions on page B–1 for more information.
These procedures use external, traceable signal sources to directly check
warranted characteristics. Table B–2 lists the required equipment used to
complete the performance tests.
