Appendix C: Performance Verification
NOTE. The interactive tests on the Diag/Cal menu are for manufacturing use at the factory.
Performance Tests
This section contains a series of procedures for checking that the AWG2021
Arbitrary Waveform Generator performs as warranted.
The procedures are arranged in ten logical groupings, presented in the following order:
Operating Mode Checks
Arithmetic Operation Checks
Clock Frequency and Amplitude Checks
Gain and Offset Accuracy Checks
Pulse Response Check
SYNC Out and MARKER Out Amplitude Checks
External Trigger Level Accuracy Check
External CLOCK IN Check
ECL Digital Data Out Check (Option 03)
TTL Digital Data Out Check (Option 04)
These procedures extend the confidence level provided by the internal diagnostic and calibration routines described on page
Prerequisites These tests comprise an extensive, valid confirmation of performance and
functionality when the following requirements are met:
You must have performed and passed the calibration procedure described in Self Tests, the previous subsection.
NOTE. For operation to specified accuracy, allow the AWG2021 to warm up at least 20 minutes before doing the performance tests.
