AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
Performance Tests
This section contains a collection of procedures for checking that the AWG710 
Arbitrary Waveform Generator performs as warranted. 
The procedures are arranged in eight logical groupings, presented in the following 
order:
The performance tests check all of the characteristics that are designated as 
checked in Appendix A:Specifications. (The characteristic items that must be 
checked are listed with the check mark
 (
n) in Appendix A: Specifications
).

NOTE. 
These procedures extend the confidence level provided by the basic 
procedures described on page B-56. The basic procedures should be done first, and 
then these procedures performed if desired.
