Amplitude and Offset Accuracy Tests (Normal Out)

These procedures check the accuracy of the amplitude and offset outputs of the
AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator.

NOTE. The amplitude and offset accuracy checks are structured as a continuous
test. The next test uses the control settings from the previous test and uses the
next step in the sequence file.

NOTE. When you output signal from the CH1 or CH1 OUTPUT, check that the
other OUTPUT ( CH1 or CH1 ) LED is off.

If the other OUTPUT LED is on, push the CH1 or CH1 OUT button to turn off
the output.

Equipment

required

A 50ĂW BNCĂcoaxial cable, a 50ĂWĂprecisionterminator,

twoĂ

SMA(Ma)-BNC(Fe) adapters,

BNC (female)ĆtoĆdual banana

adapter, and a digital multimeter (DMM).

Prerequisites

The AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator must meet the

prerequisites listed onpage B-8.

Do the following steps to install the test hookup and set the test equipment
controls:

1. Use a 50

W

BNC coaxial cable, an SMA(Fe)-BNC(Ma) adapter, a 50

W

precision terminator, and a BNC-to-dual banana adapter to connect the
AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator CH1 output to the DMM input
connector (see Figure B–9).
