AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual

Push any bottom or menu button (other than UTILITY) to exit the diagnostic 
screen.

The instrument includes internal calibration routines that check electrical 
characteristics such as offset, attenuations and filters. Perform calibration to adjust 
internal calibration constants as necessary. This procedure describes how to do the 
internal calibration. 

Confirm that there is no output being performed by verifying that the RUN LED is 
not on. If the LED is on, push the RUN button to turn it off.

Do the following steps to verify that the internal adjustments have passed:

1. Push UTILITY (front–panel)!Diag (bottom)! Execute Calibration (side). 

This executes the AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator calibration 
routines automatically.

The internal calibration does an extensive verification of proper AWG710B 
Arbitrary Waveform Generator functions. While this verification progresses, the 
message box displaying Executing Calibration

 

appear on screen. When finished, 

the resulting status will appear in the message box as shown in Figure B-2.

Power on the instrument and allow a 20 minute warmup period at an 
ambient temperature between +20

°

 C and +30

°

 C before doing this 

procedure.
