AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual 3-175
An error in the digital to analog converter (DAC) may be reported if you do not
execute the system calibration at power–on.
See Table 3-45 for the test categories and error codes.
Manual Diagnostics
The manual diagnostics routines can execute a full set of hardware tests for all the
test categories or only for the specified category except for the DAC. You can also
specify a test cycle of 1 to infinite times.
Do the following steps to execute the diagnostics:
1. Push the RUN button to turn the output off if a waveform is being output.
The RUN LED turns off.
2. Push UTILITY (front–panel)!Diag (bottom).
The screen shown in Figure 3-59 appears.
3. Push the Diagnostic xxxx side button and select a test category by using the
general purpose knob.
The xxxx represents currently selected test category. You can select a test
category from All, System, Run Mode, Clock, Output, Seq Mem and Wave
Mem. If you select All, the diagnostic routines of all categories are executed.
4. Push the Cycle n side button and select a test cycle by using the general
purpose knob.
The n represents a currently selected test cycle. You can select a test cycle from
1, 3, 10, 100 or Infinite. If you select Infinite, the diagnostic tests are repeated
infinitely. Push the Abort Diagnostic side button to stop the execution.
5. Push the Execute Diagnostic side button to start the diagnostic tests.
The
– – – is displayed at each test category on the screen either at the beginning or
after the factory reset. The mark
– – – is also displayed while the diagnostic test is
executing. See Figure 3-60. When the diagnostic test terminates without error, Pass
is displayed instead of the
– – –. The test routine displays the error code and skips
to the next test if an error is detected.
See Table 3-45 for the test categories and error codes.
NOTE. When you execute the Waveform memory self test, it takes 1.5 minutes for
standard type, 3 minutes for option 01.
