22. Dual Arbitrary Waveform Generator Check
(Option UND only)
This check verifies the functionality of the dual arbitrary waveform generator. A
triangular waveform is downloaded into the signal generator and then output to the
rear-panel I and Q outputs. An oscilloscope is used to monitor the rear-panel I and Q
outputs.
NOTE This is not a performance test. This check is only provided to ensure that the
dual arbitrary waveform generator is operational. The results are verified
visually on the oscilloscope, and there is no data that is automatically logged
or that can be printed out.
Recommended Equipment
• An oscilloscope with 2 input channels
Equipment Setup
Figure 4-38 Dual Arbitrary Waveform Generator Setup (Option UND)
Procedure
1. Connect the test equipment as shown. The oscilloscope is not connected to GPIB; this
allows for the use of most general 2-channel oscilloscopes.
2. Set the oscilloscope to display both Channel 1 and Channel 2. Set the oscilloscope to
trigger on Channel 1. The recommended settings are:
• Vertical Scale: 500 mV/div
• Timebase: 5 microseconds/div
