AFG1000 Series Specifications and Performance Verification
Frequency/Period test
This test verifies the frequency accuracy of the instrument. All output frequencies
are derived from a single generated frequency. Only one frequency point of
channel 1 is required to be checked.
1.
Connect the arbitrary function generator to the frequency counter as shown in
the following figure.
Figure 2: Frequency/Period tests
2.

.
f.
Check that the CH1 On/Off front panel button LED is on. If not, then
the channel output is off. Push the CH1 On/Off button
to turn it on.
4.
