Self Tests

This section describes how to use AWG2021 internal self-test routines. No equipment is required to do these procedures. The self tests include these internal routines:

￿Diagnostics

This self-test procedure uses internal routines to verify that the AWG2021 functions, and passes the internal circuit tests.

￿Calibration

The second procedure checks the AWG2021 internal calibration constants and changes them if needed.

Diagnostics The internal diagnostic routines check AWG2021 characteristics such as amplitude, offset, trigger level, clock, filters, X5 output amplifier, and attenua- tion.

The AWG2021 automatically performs the internal diagnostics at power-on; you can also run the internal diagnostics using the menu selections described in this procedure. The difference between these two methods of initiating the diagnostics is that the menu method does more detailed memory checking than the power-on method.
