Installing Your
Instrument
Self Calibration
The self calibration uses internal calibration routines that check electrical c harac teristics such as analog level and marker
level, and then adjust the internal calibration constants as necessary. Marker level is checked only in the AWG7000 series
instruments.
NOTE. Power on the instrument and allow a 20 minute warm-up period before performing this procedure.
1. Confirm that there is no output signal by
verifying that the front-panel Run button
indicator is off.
2. To perform the calibration suite, select
System > Calibration from the menu
bar.
The Calibration dialog box appears.
3. Select Execute.
4. A pop-u
p message asks you to remove
all the cables from output connectors.
5. Remove the cables and then select OK.
Wait until the calibration completes.
For all
calibration items, the Status
control s hould indicate Pass. If it does
not, contact your local Tektronix service
perso
nnel.
NOTE. Self calibration is not valid until the instrument reaches a valid temperature. (See page 2, Operating Requirements.)
NOTE. If your instrument is an AWG7000 series, perform self calibration once a month to maintain the analog and marker
out
put level accuracy. Failure to do so can prevent the instrument from meeting warranted performance levels for analog
and marker output.
If your instrument is an AWG5000 series, perform self calibration once a year to maintain the analog output level accuracy.
