Performance Tests
This section contains a collection of procedures for checking that the AWG610
Arbitrary Waveform Generator performs as warranted.
The procedures are arranged in thirteen logical groupings, presented in the
following order:
Table B-1: Performance test items
Titles Test items See (specifications)
Operating mode tests Continuous, Triggered, and Gated mode normality Page A-2
Amplitude and offset accuracy tests (normal out) Amplitude accuracy, and DC offset accuracy Page A-3
Amplitude, DC offset and rise time accuracy
tests (direct DA out)
Amplitude accuracy, DC offset accuracy and Rise time

The performance tests check all of the characteristics that are designated as
checked in Appendix A:Specifications. (The characteristic items that must be
checked are listed with the check mark (n) in Appendix A: Specifications).
NOTE. These procedures extend the confidence level provided by the basic
procedures described on page B–3. The basic procedures should be done first,
and then these procedures performed if desired.
