AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Function Generators Service Manual 4-1
Performance Verification
Two types of Performance Verification procedures can be performed on this
product: Self Tests and Performance Tests. You may not need to perform all of
these procedures, depending on what you want to accomplish.
To quickly confirm that the AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Function Generators
are operating properly, complete the Self Tests which begin on page 4-1.
Advantage: These procedures require minimal time to perform, and test the
internal hardware of the AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Function Generators.
To further check functionality and proper calibration, first complete the Self
Tests; then complete the Performance Tests beginning on page 4-3.
Advantages: These procedures add direct checking of warranted
specifications. These procedures require suitable test equipment and more time
to execute. (Refer to Table 4-2, “Test equipment,” on page 4)
Self Tests
There are two types of tests in this section that provide a quick way to confirm basic
functionality and proper adjustment:
Diagnostics
Calibration (you must perform this calibration before the performance tests.)
These procedures use internal diagnostics to verify that the instrument passes the
internal circuit tests, and calibration routines to check and adjust the instrument
internal calibration constants.
Diagnostics
This procedure uses internal routines to verify that the instrument is operating
correctly.
Equipment required None
Prerequisites
Power on the instrument and allow a 20 minute warm-up before
doing this procedure.
The instrument must be operating at an ambient temperature
between +0 °C and +50 °C.
