Appendix C: Performance Verification

Calibration The AWG2021 includes internal calibration routines that check electrical characteristics such as amplitude, offset, trigger level, clock, filters, X5 output amplifier and attenuation, and adjust internal calibration constants as necessary.

Equipment Required

None

 

 

Prerequisites

Power on the AW￿2021 and allow a 20 minute warmup period

 

before doing this procedure.

 

 

1.Verify that internal adjustments pass: Do the following substeps to verify passing of internal adjustments.

a.Display the calibrations menu and select all tests: Push UTILITY￿Diag/Cal￿Calibrations xxxx￿All. See the menu in Figure C-2.

Figure C￿2: Calibrations Menu

b.Run the calibrations routine: Select Execute from the side menu. This executes the AWG2021 calibrations routine automatically.

c.Wait: The internal calibration does an exhaustive verification of proper AWG2021 function. While it progresses, the busy icon appears on screen. When finished, the resulting status will appear on the screen.

d.Confirm that no failures are found: Verify that no failures are found and reported on-screen. If the calibration displays Fail as the result, contact our nearest representative.

2.Return to regular service: Push any button (other than UTILITY) in the MENU column to exit the diagnostic menu.
