Appendix C: Performance Verification

Before Verification

This section describes the verification procedures, tells you when to use the
procedures, and gives conventions used in their structure. The procedures are:

 Self Tests

 Performance Tests

These procedures verify the AWG2021 Arbitrary Waveform Generator function-
ality. Which procedure to perform depends on your goal:

 To quickly confirm that the AWG2021 functions correctly and was adjusted

properly, do the procedures under Self Tests, which begin on page C-2.

Advantages: These procedures are short, require no external equipment, and
perform extensive functional and accuracy testing. Use them to quickly
determine if the AWG2021 is suitable for use, like when it is first received.

 For a more extensive confirmation of performance, do the Performance

Tests, beginning on page C-5 after doing the Self Tests.

Advantages: These procedures involve direct checking of warranted
specifications. They require more time and suitable test equipment. (See
Equipment Required on page C-6.

Before starting any of these procedures, read Section 2 of this manual. These
instructions describe the AWG2021 front-panel controls and menu system.

Throughout the procedures in this section, the following conventions apply: 

 Each test procedure uses the following general format:

 Title of Test

 Equipment Required

 Prerequisites

 Procedure

 Each procedure consists of as many steps, substeps, and subparts as required
