2.Set the AWG2021 controls and select the waveform file:

a.Initialize AWG2021 controls: Push UTILITY￿Misc￿Config...￿Re- set to Factory￿O.K.

b.Select waveform file:

￿Push SETUP￿Waveform Sequence, if necessary, to select a waveform file for CH1. Waveform Sequence toggles between the CH1 files (upper list) and the CH2 files (lower list).

￿Turn the general purpose knob to select the PULSE.WFM file.

￿Push ENTER.

3.Turn on the AWG2021 CH1 output: Push the CH1 button so that the LED above the CH1 output connector is on.

4.Check pulse response at 0.5 V amplitude:

a.Check rise time: Check that the rise time of the waveform displayed on the oscilloscope from the 10% point to the 90% point is 4.2 ns or less.

b.Check aberrations: Check that the aberrations of the displayed waveform is within 0.45 div.

c.Check flatness: Check that the flatness of the displayed waveform is within 0.15 div. after 20 ns from the rising edge.

d.Change the oscilloscope controls:
