Performance verification
Frequency/pe
riod test
This test verifies the frequency accuracy of the arbitrary function generator. All
output frequencies are derived from a single generated frequency. Only one
frequency po
int of channel 1 is required to be checked.
1. Connect the arbitrary function generator to the frequency counter as shown in
the followi
ng figure.

2. Push the D efault front-panel button and the OK menu button to rec all the
arbitrary function generator default setup.
3. Set up the arbitrary function generator using the following steps:
