The MXG ATE blank front panel models, N5161A and N5162A signal generators, are part of
the MXG instrument family and unless otherwise indicated, all references to the MXG are
inclusive of the MXG ATE instruments.
For the instrument to meet performance specifications allow a warm up period of 45
minutes within an operational temperature range of 0 to 55 °C. For more information, refer
to the MXG signal generator Data Sheet.
Operation verification is a series of tests used to confirm that the signal generator is operating
properly, or to diagnose problems. Operation verification does not verify performance to instrument
specifications.
Perform operation verification when you initially set up the signal generator, after a minor repair
(refer to the Service Guide for details), or when the integrity of the signal generator is in question.
