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 shownin

the followi

ng ﬁgure.

2. Push the Default front-panel button and the OK menu button to recall the

arbitrary function generator default setup.

3. Set up the arbitrary function generator using the following steps:

4. Check that reading of the Frequency Counter is between 0.999998 MHz and

1.000002 MHz.
