Two types of Performance Verification procedures can be performed on this 
product: Self Tests and Performance Tests. You may not need to perform all of these 
procedures, depending on what you want to accomplish.
„
Verify that the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator is operating correctly 
by running the self tests which begin on page B-56. 
Advantages: These procedures require minimal time to perform, require no 
additional equipment, and test the internal hardware of the AWG710 Arbitrary 
Waveform Generator.
