This section describes the verification procedures, indicates when to use the
procedures, and gives conventions used in their structure. The procedures in this
section are:
H Self Tests
H Performance Tests
These procedures verify the AWG2021 Arbitrary Waveform Generator function-

H To quickly confirm that the AWG2021 functions correctly and was adjusted
properly, do the procedures under Self Tests, which begin on page 4–3.
Advantages: These procedures are short, require no external equipment, and
perform extensive functional and accuracy testing. Use them to quickly
determine if the AWG2021 is suitable for putting into service, such as when
it is first received.
H For a more extensive confirmation of performance, do the Performance
Tests, beginning on page 4–7 after doing the Self Tests.
Advantages: These procedures involve direct checking of warranted
specifications. They require more time and suitable test equipment. (See
Equipment Required on page 4–8.)
Before starting any of these procedures, read Instructions for Operation in
section 2 of this manual. These instructions briefly describe the AWG2021
front-panel controls and menu system. The user manual contains detailed
information on operating the AWG2021.
