Prerequisites

AWG2021 Service Manual
This subsection 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:
H Operating Mode Checks
H Arithmetic Operation Checks
H Clock Frequency and Amplitude Checks
H Gain and Offset Accuracy Checks
H Pulse Response Check
H SYNC Out and MARKER Out Amplitude Checks
H External Trigger Level Accuracy Check
H External CLOCK IN Check
H ECL Digital Data Out Check (Option 03)
H TTL Digital Data Out Check (Option 04)
These procedures extend the confidence level provided by the internal diagnostic
and calibration routines described on page 4-3.
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 described in
Self Tests on page 4–5.
H The AWG2021 must have passed the calibration procedure mentioned above
or must have been adjusted using the adjustment procedure in section 5 at an
ambient temperature between +20° C and +30° C, must have been operating
for a warm-up period of at least 20 minutes, and must be operating at an
ambient temperature between +10° C and +40° C.
