Performance Verification
AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Function Generators Service Manual 4-3
Performance Tests
The Performance Tests include functional tests, such as the interface functional
test, in this manual.
The Functional Tests verify the functions; they verify that the AFG3000 Series
Arbitrary/Function Generators features operate. They do not verify that they
operate within limits.
The Performance Tests verify that the AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Function
Generators performs as warranted. The Performance Tests check all the
characteristics that are designated as checked in Specifications. (The
characteristics that are checked appear with a 4 in Specifications.)
Performance Conditions
The tests in this section comprise an extensive, valid confirmation of performance
and functionality when the following requirements are met:
The cabinet covers must be on the AFG3000 Series.
The instrument must have been performed and passed the procedures under
calibration and diagnostics.
The instrument must have been calibrated/adjusted at an ambient temperature
between +20 °C and +30 °C.
The instrument must be operating at an ambient temperature between +0 °C
and +50 °C.
The instrument must have had a warm-up period of at least 20 minutes.
NOTE. Do not turn off the power while executing calibration. If the power is turned
off during calibration, data stored in internal nonvolatile memory may be lost.
