Prerequisites Power on the instrument and allow a 20 minute warmup period at an
ambient temperature between +20_ C and +30_ C before doing this
procedure.
Confirm that there is no output being performed by verifying that the RUN LED
is not on. If the LED is on, push the RUN button to turn it off.
NOTE. Some calibration items may fail if you start calibration while output is
being performed.
Do the following steps to verify that the internal adjustments have passed:
1. Push UTILITY (front-panel)!Diag (bottom)! Execute Calibration
(side).
This executes the AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator calibration
routines automatically.
The internal calibration does an extensive verification of proper AWG610
Arbitrary Waveform Generator functions. While this verification progresses, the
message box displaying Executing Calibration appear on screen. When finished,
the resulting status will appear in the message box as shown in Figure B–2.
