Performance Verification
You can perform two types of Performance Verification procedures with this
product: Self Tests and Performance Tests. You may not need to perform all
these procedures, depending on what you want to accomplish.
 Verify that the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator  is operating
correctly by running the self tests as described in the Self Tests subsection.
Advantages: These procedures require minimal time to perform, require no
additional equipment, and test the internal hardware of the AWG710
Arbitrary Waveform Generator.
 If a more extensive confirmation of performance is desired, complete the self
test, and then do the performance test beginning on page 4–7.
Advantages: These procedures add direct checking of warranted specifica-
tions. They require more time to perform and suitable test equipment is
required. (Refer to Equipment Required on page 4–8).
