Performance Tests
This subsection contains a series of procedures for checking that the
AWG2005 Arbitrary Waveform Generator performs as warranted.
The procedures are arranged in eleven logical groupings, presented in the
following order:
H Operating Mode Checks
H Arithmetic Operation Checks
H Clock Frequency and Amplitude Checks
H Gain Accuracy Check
H Offset Accuracy Check
H Pulse Response Check
H MARKER OUT Amplitude Check
H CONTROL SIG OUT Amplitude Check
H External Trigger Level Accuracy Check
H External CLOCK IN Check
H Master-Slave Operation Check (Optional Check)
H DIGITAL DATA OUT Check
These procedures extend the confidence level provided by the internal
diagnostic and calibration routines described on page 4Ć3.
The tests in this subsection comprise an extensive, valid confirmation of
performance and functionality, when the following requirements are met:
H You must have performed and passed the calibration procedure deĆ
scribed in Self Tests, the previous subsection.
NOTE
For operation to specified accuracy, allow the AWG2005 to warm
up at least 20 minutes before doing the performance tests.
H Load all the files from the Performance Check disk (063Ć1706ĆXX) that
comes with this manual into AWG2005 internal memory. For instructions
on loading files, see Loading Files on pageĂ 2Ć12 in the Instructions for
Operation subsection in section 2.
