Appendix C: Performance Verification

2.Select the AWG2021 waveform file and set AWG2021 controls:

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

b.Modify AWG2021 default settings:

￿Push MODE￿Gated￿Polarity to highlight Positive.

￿Select Level from the side menu, and turn the general purpose knob to select 1 V. (You can also use the numeric and units keys to select 1 V; then push ENTER.)

￿Select Impedance from the side menu to highlight 1 MW.

c.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 highlight the TRG_IN.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 external trigger high level:

a.Adjust oscilloscope controls: Press and hold the AWG2021 MANUAL TRIGGER button and adjust the oscilloscope vertical and horizontal position to display the waveform from the AWG2021. Release the MANUAL TRIGGER button.

b.Enable function generator output: Turn on the function generator output.

c.Check external trigger level accuracy:

￿Gradually increment the function generator offset level until a waveform is displayed on the oscilloscope.

￿Check that the function generator offset level is from 0.85 to 1.15 V, when the waveform is first displayed.

5.Check external trigger low level:

a.Change the function generator controls:
